BC Hydro has received a strong response to its call for new renewable power-generation projects while it continues to build out and strengthen B.C.’s electricity grid, creating jobs and supporting clean growth in communities such as Vancouver.

Premier David Eby has issued the following statement marking Mid-Autumn Festival and Full Moon Festival:

The Province has granted extensions to 21 B.C. local governments to provide them more time to amend zoning bylaws and upgrade infrastructure for some, or all, of their community.

More Métis families will benefit from increased access to culturally based child care with more than 200 new child care spaces opening or on the way.

New support for manufacturing businesses in the Lower Mainland will create jobs and promote the development of made-in-B.C. products while strengthening local economies and communities.

Dozens of families will benefit from new culturally relevant child care spaces through the Aboriginal Head Start (AHS) program.

Nearly 1,200 rental homes are coming soon for individuals, seniors and families with middle incomes in the Township of Langley and Burnaby, through new BC Builds projects.
