British Columbia is celebrating the multiple sectors that make up B.C.’s vibrant and flourishing creative industry, including film, television, interactive media, music, magazine and book publishing.

The second anniversary of B.C.’s Skills for Jobs Blueprint was marked, April 25, 2016.

The governments of Canada and British Columbia announced that a total of $7 million will be available under the Canada-BC Job Grant to help businesses provide their current or new employees with skills training.

The good news just keeps rolling in for British Columbia’s growing tourism industry.

As British Columbia experiences one of its strongest tourism periods in years, Tofino is getting set to welcome the crowds as the summer travelling season draws closer.

More mature workers in small B.C. communities will receive the training and support they need for local jobs, thanks to an additional $4.1 million investment into the Targeted Initiative for Older Workers (TIOW), a successful cost-shared initiative between the Government of Canada and the Province of British Columbia.

It’s another victory for B.C. as the province hosts a new international sporting tournament, the HSBC Women’s World Rugby Sevens Series. The women’s series is one of a number of world-renowned sporting events that are attracting visitors and keeping British Columbia in the global spotlight.
