The Province, through BC Housing, is proceeding with a proposal for a new temporary shelter that would provide a safe place to sleep for people staying in Penticton’s Victory Church shelter after it closes in spring 2022.

Premier John Horgan has issued the following statement following today’s federal travel advisory:

Post-secondary students will be better equipped to help their peers struggling with mental-health concerns, thanks to a new, free educational resource B.C. students helped design.   

Effective today, the Canadian Red Cross is providing continued Emergency Support Services (ESS) to evacuees impacted by the recent floods and extreme weather in British Columbia.

Eligible people in B.C. living with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), a rare genetic and chronically debilitating bone disorder, will have help as the provincial government is covering costs for burosumab, or Crysvita, the medication used to treat the disease.

Health authorities, universities and school districts are among B.C. public-sector organizations that can access increased CleanBC electric vehicle (EV) charging rebates to make zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) the default option for B.C. public-sector fleets.

Letters will be mailed to 1,715 people who have submitted their personal vaccine record(s) into the Provincial Immunization Registry without success, encouraging them to get vaccinated at the earliest opportunity.

Effective immediately, Diane Nicholls, British Columbia’s chief forester, has set a new allowable annual cut (AAC) level for Tree Farm Licence (TFL) 33.
