A new BC Stats report, Sustaining Growth: Population and Demography for B.C. and Canada, has compiled publicly available statistics and data to project population growth to 2046 and highlights demographic trends for the province.

Students from kindergarten to grade 12 are learning and growing beyond the classroom, thanks to $11.2 million in funding for parent advisory councils in B.C.

Anne Kang, Minister of Municipal Affairs, has released the following statement in response to the City of Vancouver’s resolution on the Vancouver Park Board:

People in northern B.C. will have access to more services, including health-care supports and child care spaces, with an investment of more than $3 million from the Northern Healthy Communities Fund (NHCF).

As part of work underway to deliver more homes for people faster, the Province has introduced new legislation to reduce construction delays and streamline processes to fund key services, infrastructure and amenities for growing communities.

Increased supports for literacy programs in B.C. will help more children access services to develop skills that extend beyond the classroom.

The Province and the Northwest BC Resource Benefits Alliance (RBA) are working together to ensure the region’s economic development contributes to building strong, sustainable communities and delivers good-paying jobs for residents.

New funding to expand community-based literacy programs will help people of all ages learn new skills, communicate with confidence and engage fully in society.
