People looking to improve their lives through improved reading, writing, math and digital skills will benefit from increased access to free adult literacy programs throughout B.C.

Premier David Eby has issued the following statement marking B.C. Day:

Racialized people can now share their perspectives in culturally safe spaces as 68 organizations across B.C. receive more than $300,000 to engage community members on the development of new anti-racism legislation.

More newcomers to the province will be able to find rewarding, skilled jobs in their communities through several new and innovative programs offered through the Immigrant Employment Council of BC (IEC-BC).

More than 285,000 families throughout B.C. will see bigger payments in their bank accounts starting this month, thanks to the permanently increased BC Family Benefit.

People with international credentials will be better supported to get their professional credentials recognized in B.C. and start working sooner in their field.

Everyone living in B.C. is encouraged to take the BC Demographic Survey to help identify systemic racism in government services.
