Improving care for people in British Columbia is central to investments in workers as the Province launches a health human resources strategy to optimize the health system, expand training and further improve recruitment and retention.

First responders training at the Justice Institute of British Columbia (JIBC) have access to a new fire engine with the latest technology at the Maple Ridge campus.

The Province is making education accessible by working with Capilano University (CapU) on a new centre for childhood studies that will more than double the available child care spaces on campus.

More students who study at Vancouver Island University’s (VIU) Nanaimo campus will be able to live where they learn with the addition of 266 new student housing beds and a new dining hall.

University of Victoria (UVic) students are benefiting from more on-campus housing with the first of two new student-housing buildings opening, ready for students to move in and call the spaces home.
