Up to 30 eligible British Columbians will get skills and training to prepare them for jobs as multicultural workers and outreach and family support workers in B.C.’s communities and schools.

British Columbians are a step closer to receiving their COVID-19 immunizations, with additional details and timelines released for the largest and most complex immunization plan to ever roll out in B.C.

Today marks the first day of British Columbia’s provincewide COVID-19 immunizations, the most comprehensive vaccine program to ever be delivered in B.C.

Anne Kang, Minister Responsible for Multiculturalism, has issued the following statement in honour of BC Multiculturalism Week, Nov. 15-21, 2020:

Building on the Province’s $45.6-million investment to support a safe restart for B.C.’s schools, additional funding from the federal government will allow schools to expand health and safety measures, purchase more personal protective equipment (PPE) and increase capacity for remote learning.

Back to school plans for K-12 families are now posted for all 60 school districts, so parents and families can prepare to support their children for a safe return to the classroom.
