Drought conditions and aggressive fire behaviour have contributed to this year’s extreme wildfire season.

The Council of the Haida Nation and the federal and provincial governments have signed the GayG̱ahlda “Changing Tide” framework agreement, setting the stage for reconciliation negotiations.

Three new projects, in partnership with coastal Indigenous Nations, will target marine debris along B.C.’s shoreline, including more remote areas in Haida Gwaii and the Discovery Islands.  

Faster, more reliable internet is coming to people on Denman and Hornby islands as the Connecting British Columbia program continues its work to bring world-class connectivity to rural communities on the coast.

With much of British Columbia under a heat warning and experiencing high or extreme wildfire risks, the B.C. government is urging travellers and residents to be extremely cautious over the B.C. Day long weekend.

More B.C. public sector employees will be protected when bringing forward concerns about serious wrongdoing with the expansion of the scope of the Public Interest Disclosure Act (PIDA).

People living on Texada Island and Haida Gwaii will soon have faster and more reliable internet access, thanks in part to grants from the Connecting British Columbia program.

A historic agreement is bringing new funding to the Kwikwasut'inuxw Haxwa'mis First Nation (KHFN).
