The Province of British Columbia is building the first new courthouse in 20 years to improve access to justice and meet the increasing demand for judicial services in one of B.C.’s fastest-growing regions. A preferred proponent team has now been selected for the Abbotsford law courts project.

A new public engagement website provides the people of B.C. with an opportunity to provide input on ways to improve how Freedom of Information (FOI) requests and privacy protection operate in B.C., Minister of Citizens’ Services Jinny Sims announced today.

The British Columbia government is asking parents, educators and citizens of all backgrounds to take a moment and reflect on how we can work to create a safer internet for everyone — especially young people.

This month, the B.C. government distributed over $16 million to 54 communities around the province in lieu of municipal property taxes.

The Province is building new law courts in Abbotsford to keep pace with growth in the lower Fraser Valley, one of B.C.’s fastest-growing regions. Three proponent teams have been shortlisted for the project, which is estimated to create over 1,000 jobs during the course of construction.  

The popular Britton Creek rest area at the summit of the Coquihalla Highway is the first rest area in the province to offer free Wi-Fi to the travelling public, providing motorists an opportunity to stop, take a rest and connect with family and friends.
