Premier John Horgan has issued the following statement on the 108th anniversary of the Komagata Maru’s arrival in British Columbia:

A new state-of-the-art and seismically safe Royal BC Museum (RBCM) is coming to Victoria and will be more accessible for all British Columbians.

As a step to dismantle systemic racism and discrimination faced by Indigenous, Black and people of colour, the Province is introducing the anti-racism data act. 

As many as 30 people will get skills training to retrain them for jobs in the greenhouse sector as landscape and horticulture technicians.

To meet the increasing demand for nurses in British Columbia, the Province is making it easier for eligible internationally educated nurses (IENs) to enter the province’s health system so they can support British Columbians’ health-care needs sooner.

More than 13,000 British Columbians have participated in an engagement on how government can safely and thoughtfully use demographic data to address systemic racism and build a better, more inclusive province for everyone. 

Premier John Horgan has issued the following statement in honour of Vaisakhi:

New data released by Statistics Canada shows that British Columbia broke a record for the number of people moving to the province in 2021.
