Selina Robinson, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, has issued the following statement on a tenancy dispute in Maple Ridge:

Up to 15 people will gain new skills and training as community support or mental health care workers in the Campbell River area thanks to funding from the Government of British Columbia.

More than five million illegal cigarettes were taken off the street last year.

A new job-creation partnership project will help Indigenous people in and around Clinton gain valuable skills in trail building, while providing the community with enhanced outdoor multi-use recreation spaces.

In the spirit of reconciliation and co-operation, the Province has purchased ranch lands for the Xatśūll First Nation (Soda Creek Indian Band) as part of treaty negotiations with the Northern Secwepemc te Qelmucw (NStQ).

With the help of additional funding through the Province’s 10-year housing plan, 60 new affordable rental homes are under construction in Kamloops.
