Nathan Cullen, Minister of Municipal Affairs, has issued the following statement to mark World Refugee Day on Monday, June 20, 2022:

The Province is responding to the crucial need for more health-care workers and early childhood educators (ECEs).

Indigenous communities, local governments and eligible organizations can apply for funding under the 150 Time Immemorial program for projects that promote and educate British Columbians about diversity, inclusion, reconciliation and resiliency.

People in B.C. communities will benefit from legislative amendments that give local governments more powers to simplify and speed up their development approvals processes, helping to get the homes people need built faster.

Indigenous communities, local governments and heritage organizations in British Columbia will soon have access to funding for projects that spotlight the Province’s diverse cultural heritage.

Josie Osborne, Minister of Municipal Affairs, has released the following statement to mark World Refugee Day on Sunday, June 20, 2021:

The BC Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) Tech Pilot will become a permanent feature of the BC PNP, providing B.C.-based tech companies and offices with the continued ability to recruit international talent and support government’s work to build a strong, sustainable recovery.

Not-for-profit groups that deliver social services to people and families throughout Metro Vancouver are receiving support through B.C.’s Community Gaming Grants program.

Non-profits are receiving more than $11 million from B.C.’s Community Gaming Grants to boost conservation and public safety programs that will benefit British Columbians around the province.
