The Province, in partnership with the BC Lung Association, is improving air quality throughout B.C. by providing $15,600 to the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District as part of the Provincial Wood Stove Exchange Program.

The Province has acquired four additional ecologically sensitive properties throughout British Columbia, thanks to a partnership with the Nature Conservancy of Canada.

A Cranbrook area property home to a wide variety of wildlife has been acquired by the Province, thanks to a partnership with the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC).

Two McBride area properties home to a wide variety of wildlife have been acquired by the Province, thanks to a partnership with the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC).

With the 2017 camping season just around the corner, those looking to experience BC Parks are reminded to become familiar with new changes to the Discover Camping Reservation Service.

Minister of Environment Mary Polak has issued the following statement on the federal decision regarding pipeline projects:

The Province will build on its world-renowned provincial parks system by hiring more park rangers to enhance conservation, improving services for persons with disabilities and launching a new BC Parks Foundation so community groups, businesses and individuals can come together and have a voice in BC Parks priorities.

Through the Province’s expanded Invasive Mussel Defence Program, crews have inspected a record 24,500 watercraft for invasive quagga and zebra mussels this boating season, helping B.C. to remain free of invasive mussels.

The Ministry of Environment’s first-ever compliance report of industrial and commercial operations in British Columbia suggests the vast majority are abiding by provincial environmental regulatory requirements. 

Changes to the BC Parks Discover Camping Reservation Service for the 2017 season aim to improve fair access for everyone looking to book a campsite in B.C.’s world-class provincial parks.
