A strong winter storm is forecast to affect many parts of B.C. from Friday through to Sunday.

To help vulnerable young people avoid gang and criminal lifestyles, the Province is providing more than $486,000 in grants to fund mentorship programs in 24 school districts around British Columbia.

Police will get a refresh of mandatory training so they can give enhanced response to people who suffer intimate partner violence.

Disaster Financial Assistance (DFA) is now available for eligible British Columbians in southwest, central and southeast areas of the province and Vancouver Island who were affected by flooding and landslides from Nov. 14-16, 2021.

Mike Farnworth, B.C.'s Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General, has released the following statement:

Cannabis consumers and parents of trick-or-treaters must be vigilant to ensure little ghouls and goblins don’t get a scary surprise this weekend, which marks the third Halloween since Canada legalized cannabis edibles like baked goods and candies.

Grabbing a packaged single glass of wine or draft beer with takeout, or having it delivered with a meal when ordering in, is now possible as B.C. opens another revenue-generating option for licensed restaurants and pubs.
