From Infrastructure Canada:

Preventing plastic waste, reducing emissions and creating clean-tech jobs are just a few benefits of the 14 new projects under the CleanBC Plastics Action Fund, as well as a boost of more than double the previous funding for further projects.

British Columbia has led the way in the uptake of zero-emission vehicles in North America, increased the number of public charging stations in the province by 50% in one year, and eliminated the largest fossil fuel subsidy in the province – just three key areas where progress has been made on climate action, demonstrated in the 2022 Climate Change Accountability Report.

George Heyman, Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy, has released the following statement in recognition of Waste Reduction Week 2022:

The Province is investing in projects that will reduce climate pollution, create job opportunities for people in the clean economy, and support innovation in industry.

The Province is improving accessibility to electric vehicles (EVs) by increasing maximum rebate amounts and ensuring they are going to people who need them most.
