BC Gov News

The B.C. government is committed to providing the best supports for people facing challenges associated with mental illness and substance use — and has made it a priority to build a comprehensive system of these services throughout the province.

The B.C. government recognizes the challenges many parents face when trying to balance raising a family with pursuing work and training opportunities.

The Province is working with partners to help preserve the vibrancy of B.C. Aboriginal culture for future generations and ensure that children and youth are living in strong, healthy families where they are connected to their culture and traditions.

All children deserve the comfort, security and love of a forever home — that’s why strengthening the provincial adoption program and finding loving permanent homes for B.C.’s waiting children and youth is a priority for the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD).

May was Child Care Month in British Columbia. In addition to honouring child-care providers for making a difference for B.C. families, the Province celebrated the month by announcing more money to train Early Childhood Educators (ECEs), more money to create new licensed child-care spaces, and a new online map to help parents find those spaces.
