The Province is taking further steps to address systemic challenges and improve the quality of life in the Downtown Eastside (DTES) for all those that are living, working and visiting in the neighbourhood.

Premier David Eby has issued the following statement marking the Provincial Day of Remembrance and Mourning for the Victims of the Tragedy at the Lapu Lapu Day Festival:

The Province is reaffirming its commitment to climate action and affordability as it releases its annual Climate Change Accountability Report.

People will have more housing options and access to critical services as construction begins on a multi-use development with 97 non-market homes and a new health-care treatment centre.

In response to the economic and trade uncertainty faced by people and businesses across British Columbia, the Province is taking action to provide stability in BC Hydro’s electricity rates during these unpredictable times, while keeping rate increases below cumulative inflation.

A graduating class of 24 B.C. sheriffs will soon begin their careers keeping people safe at courthouses throughout the province.

Drivers in the Lower Mainland, Howe Sound and Vancouver Island are advised to avoid travel unless their vehicle is properly equipped for winter weather.
