Government’s new accessibility plan, AccessibleBC, outlines how provincial ministries will embed accessibility and inclusion in their work and services over the next three years.

With $35,000 in provincial funding, the Victoria Immigrant and Refugee Centre Society (VIRCS) can complete a much-needed technology infrastructure upgrade to better serve 3,000 immigrants, refugees and new Canadian citizens each year.

As many as 30 people will get skills training to retrain them for jobs in the greenhouse sector as landscape and horticulture technicians.

British Columbians have another tool to navigate B.C.’s labour market and can search and find employment opportunities on the go with the new, easy-to-use WorkBC app.

The fourth intake of B.C.’s Work Experience Opportunities Grant offers $2 million for flexible, paid work experience opportunities.

The Province has appointed 11 British Columbians as the first members of the Provincial Accessibility Committee (PAC), marking the next step in government’s work to remove barriers  for people with disabilities in B.C.
