Mike Farnworth, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General, has released the following statement following the favourable decision in the Surrey police transition judicial review litigation:

Thirty-five First Nations throughout B.C. are receiving $9.8 million in federal and provincial funding to develop clean-energy projects that will help them meet their energy needs efficiently and sustainably, while creating more jobs for people in their communities.

Families and children living in the Vancouver Marpole neighbourhood will benefit from 69 new child care spaces integrated into the newly rebuilt David Lloyd George Elementary school.

Students and families are one step closer to having a new elementary school with construction starting in the Township of Langley’s Willoughby Heights area.

A new state-of-the-art facility in Nanaimo is a significant step forward in advancing correctional services on Vancouver Island and supporting community safety.

Thirty-six children and their families in Lake Errock now have access to the new Sq’ewlets Child Care Centre.

New members of B.C.’s Climate Solutions Council will support the Province’s work to transition to a clean economy with good, sustainable jobs for British Columbians.
