More than a quarter million British Columbians participated in 11 HST telephone-town hall meetings in communities across the province in the last three weeks.

The B.C. Public Service Agency and the Union of Psychiatric Nurses of British Columbia (UPNBC) and the British Columbia Nurses' Union (BCNU) have now ratified a new agreement under the government's 2010 mandate, announced Finance Minister Kevin Falcon.

With the Vancouver Canucks advancing to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, an updated schedule for the HST telephone town halls is available.
