People in British Columbia are being encouraged to protect themselves and those around them against influenza this year by getting a flu shot.

The next generation of B.C.’s leaders will have a new platform to help shape government policy and priorities through the creation of the StrongerBC Young Leaders Council.

Government is updating its K-12 education health and safety guidelines to require masks for kindergarten to Grade 3 students. 

More than 14,000 B.C. students will soon have access to new, safe and accessible playgrounds as the Province doubles its annual investment in the Playground Equipment Program (PEP). 

British Columbians are encouraged to help shape B.C.’s anti-racism data legislation, so government can better identify existing gaps and create a more inclusive, equitable province.

Right in time for the new school year, more than 8,600 students will be returning to safer and modernized classrooms at 16 new or improved schools throughout the province.

As many as 36 eligible British Columbians will get skills training to prepare them for jobs in the public-works sector.
