Drought and water scarcity continues to impact most of the southern half of British Columbia.

From September 2021, two paralegals will support the work of the Supreme Court Civil and Family Rules committee and offer advice on new projects and rules that may impact British Columbians’ access to justice.

Melanie Mark, Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport; and Ravi Kahlon, a former Olympian and Minister of Jobs, Economic Recovery and Innovation; have released the following statement on the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Summer Games in Tokyo:

The Province has appointed Michael Skinner, former lawyer and adjudicator, as ICBC’s new fairness officer, effective July 12, 2021.

Ravi Kahlon, Minister of Jobs, Economic Recovery and Innovation, has issued the following statement on the release of Statistics Canada's Labour Force Survey for June 2021:

The Province is awarding the second $50-million instalment provided by the federal government to projects that will clean up dormant oil and gas sites.

The Province has amended the Greenhouse Gas Reduction (Clean Energy) Regulation to increase the production and use of renewable gas as well as green and waste hydrogen in British Columbia, generating jobs and economic opportunities while reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Liquor retailers authorized to open earlier for the safety and convenience of their customers during the COVID-19 pandemic now have the option to maintain their expanded morning hours.

Fresh fruit from the Okanagan and Creston Valley will continue to be on the tables of British Columbians this year, as support for work camp accommodations for seasonal fruit pickers has been extended through the 2021 harvest season.
