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.

The Forest Enhancement Society of BC has allocated another $2,737,764 in grants for four projects that will support forestry contractors and increase the use of wood fibre that otherwise would have been burned.

B.C. businesses are partnering with the federal and provincial governments to help their businesses grow, produce and pollinate.

B.C.’s vision of becoming a global leader in the food processing industry has received a boost with the appointment of the University of British Columbia’s (UBC) Anubhav Singh as the province’s first food and beverage innovation professor.

Port Alberni and Surrey will be home to B.C.’s newest regional food hubs, which help farms and food processing businesses innovate and grow, create jobs and strengthen local economies.
