The B.C. government strongly supports the efforts of local governments and First Nations to reduce wildfire risks in and around their communities through the completion of fuel management projects, the development of Community Wildfire Protection Plans and the implementation of FireSmart principles.

The Province’s focus on building a true and lasting vision of reconciliation is anchored by a cross-government commitment to adopt and implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s calls-to-action, and the Supreme Court of Canada Tsilhqot’in decision.

To address the issue of housing affordability for British Columbians, the Province is curbing speculation in B.C.’s housing market and helping to build 114,000 affordable market rental, non-profit, supported social housing and owner-purchase housing through partnerships.

The Province will invest more than $7 billion over 10 years, to build the kind of homes people need, in every corner of the province — including urban, suburban and rural.

Camping continues to increase in popularity, so campers are encouraged to plan ahead and make reservations with BC Parks early. Sites start to fill as summer approaches, particularly around long weekends.

It seems that almost everyone knows ICBC is losing money, a lot of money.
