Premier David Eby has issued the following statement marking Labour Day:

Jennifer Whiteside, Minister of Mental Health and Addictions, has released the following statement about the BC Coroners Service report on illicit drug toxicity deaths in July 2024:

Following two summers marked by a surge in highway fatalities, the B.C. government is taking action to make roads safer and place higher penalties on those who drive dangerously.

Families and people will soon have more multi-bedroom apartment options available to them, thanks to changes to the BC Building Code (BCBC) allowing single egress stair (SES) designs in low- and mid-rise buildings.

It will be another busy long weekend on British Columbia highways and motorists are urged to stay alert and drive safely. 

Recruitment and training initiatives are underway for the coming school year to get more certified teachers into B.C. classrooms and build B.C.’s K-12 workforce.

The Province is tying the annual allowable rent increase in 2025 to inflation at 3%, down from this year’s allowable increase of 3.5%.

The Province supported people through a record wildfire season and a global economic slowdown in 2023-24, while continuing to build the schools, hospitals and homes people need.

Children and youth with complex medical conditions are one step closer to receiving dedicated services through a new BC Children’s Hospital centre for health complexity at 3644 Slocan St. in East Vancouver.

B.C. farmers are getting help with adopting new labour-saving technologies that will enhance their profitability, productivity and efficiency, while helping to improve food security in the province.
