Accessing a northern British Columbia playground just got easier for people with disabilities, with the installation of BC Parks’ first universally accessible playground at Purden Lake Provincial Park.

The provincial government has issued an order to make sure nests, dens, salt licks and other important wildlife habitat features (WHF) are protected when forestry and range activities are carried out.

Environment and Climate Change Strategy Minister George Heyman has issued the following statement today with respect to BC Rivers Day this coming Sunday:

In total, 1,191 provincial permits are required for the Trans Mountain expansion project, with many involving First Nations consultation.

People in communities throughout British Columbia can look forward to improved environmental infrastructure, thanks to a $243-million partnership between the federal and provincial governments.

The Government of British Columbia has underscored its commitment to work with Indigenous peoples in the spirit of respect and collaboration by introducing a set of draft principles designed to guide the daily work of provincial government employees. Don Wright, head of the BC Public Service shared the draft principles with all 27,000 public service employees on Tuesday, May 22, 2018.

Every year, hundreds of groups and individuals donate their time and energy to care for the 1,033 provincial parks and protected areas in British Columbia.

British Columbians are being asked to make sure they are not accidentally taking stowaway bats for a free ride when they return from their summer travels.

In total, 1,186 provincial permits are required for the Trans Mountain expansion project, with many involving First Nations consultation.

George Heyman, Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy, has sent the following letter to his federal counterpart, Catherine McKenna, Minister of Environment and Climate Change.
