Improving care for people in British Columbia is central to investments in workers as the Province launches a health human resources strategy to optimize the health system, expand training and further improve recruitment and retention.

The Province is highlighting several commitments to programs that make sporting activities more affordable for families and empower under-represented children and youth to jump back into sport and physical activities, regardless of family finances.

Starting in December, parents in British Columbia will save as much as an additional $550 per month for each child they have in participating licensed child care centres.

Government is providing $4 million in post-pandemic recovery funding to reignite the amateur sport sector by rebuilding sport membership and bolstering volunteerism.

Millions of British Columbians will benefit from new measures to help people with the high cost of living caused by global inflation.

The Province is helping make back-to-school more affordable for students and their families who are struggling with rising costs of living due to global inflation.
