Starting Dec. 1, 2025, couples where both members receive disability assistance will receive the same support allowance as they would if they were two single people.
Five new members have been appointed to British Columbia’s Provincial Accessibility Committee (PAC), reinforcing the Province’s commitment to advancing accessibility and inclusion for all people in British Columbia.
The Province is taking steps to ensure people continue to receive provincial disability and income assistance during strike action.
Young people facing barriers to employment throughout the province will have more opportunities to find jobs and improve their life skills supported by new provincial funding.
With new funding, more people experiencing barriers to employment, such as Indigenous people, people on income assistance and those with complex needs, are training for in-demand jobs.
The B.C. Public Service acknowledges the territories of First Nations around B.C. and is grateful to carry out our work on these lands. We acknowledge the rights, interests, priorities, and concerns of all Indigenous Peoples - First Nations, Métis, and Inuit - respecting and acknowledging their distinct cultures, histories, rights, laws, and governments.
We can help in over 220 languages and through other accessible options. Call, email or text us, or find a service centre.
