Eighteen people in British Columbia are being honoured with the Province’s Medal of Good Citizenship for their extraordinary contributions to their communities.

The Province is creating a new grant program to help children and youth during and after government care participate in sport, physical and cultural activities.

Thousands of children and youth will have the opportunity to be physically active through sport, thanks to the B.C. government’s historic investment in Sport BC.

A redevelopment project is one step closer for the Jewish Community Centre of Greater Vancouver with a $25-million commitment from the B.C. government.

Twenty-six arts and culture groups throughout the Lower Mainland are getting more than $1 million help to improve their spaces or buy equipment.

Mitzi Dean, Parliamentary Secretary for Gender Equity, has released the following statement in honour of the Transgender Day of Remembrance:

To support British Columbians who need a place to self-isolate and to reduce the spread of COVID-19, the Province is partnering with local governments, non-profits and the hotel industry.

Budget 2020 moves British Columbia forward by building the infrastructure the growing province needs, supporting thousands of new jobs, strengthening investments in health and education and making life more affordable for everyone.
