To meet the increasing demand for nurses in British Columbia, the Province is making it easier for eligible internationally educated nurses (IENs) to enter the province’s health system so they can support British Columbians’ health-care needs sooner.

More than 13,000 British Columbians have participated in an engagement on how government can safely and thoughtfully use demographic data to address systemic racism and build a better, more inclusive province for everyone. 

Premier John Horgan has issued the following statement in honour of Vaisakhi:

Displaced Ukrainians will have access to more vital community programs and supports as the Province expands the Service BC phone line to include United Way British Columbia’s bc211 service.

People in communities throughout B.C. will have improved access to resources to help them tackle discrimination and enhance the province’s diversity as 60 organizations receive support through the BC Multiculturalism Grants program.

New data released by Statistics Canada shows that British Columbia broke a record for the number of people moving to the province in 2021.

With thousands of displaced Ukrainians expected to relocate to British Columbia over the coming months, the Province is expanding services and supports to connect individuals and families to the help they need.

More than a dozen people will soon get new skills training to prepare them for jobs in the hospitality sector.
