In the last ten years gynecological cancer rates in BC have increased by almost 50 per cent. That’s why we’re nearly doubling the number of doctors and cancer care staff who can treat people with reproductive-tract cancers. We're also adding more surgical and treatment centres to help more people get care faster and closer to home.

We're continuing to improve the ways we prevent, detect and treat cancers in BC. In fact, BC is leading the country in areas like cervical self-screening – with 55,000 tests distributed to people from February to June 2024. Along with the cancer-preventing HPV vaccine, BC could eliminate cervical cancer in a decade. These are some of the many actions we're taking to deliver better and faster cancer care now and prepare for our growing needs in the future.

A new, innovative long-term care home in the Comox Valley will support more seniors especially those with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. The centre is Canada’s first public, non-profit care home based on the dementia village concept.

More family doctors will be trained faster at the new medical school at Simon Fraser University - the first new medical school to open in western Canada in 55 years. The 3-year program is focused on training family doctors so more people in BC can get the primary health care they need.

Training more doctors is one of the many actions we're taking to create health care people can count on. We're also recruiting doctors to come to BC and working to ensure we keep the doctors we already have. There's more work to do, but it's starting to make a difference. BC welcomed more than 900 doctors and 6,500 nurses last year, with more to come.

One year ago, we committed to strengthening cancer care in BC. And we are already seeing progress. With more cancer specialists in place and longer treatment hours more people are getting the care they need. We’ve also improved screening to detect cancer sooner, helped more people with travel costs, and are building more care for people closer to home.

We continue to face big challenges: communities are growing and people are aging. Demand for cancer care continues to rise – more than 34,000 people in BC will be diagnosed this year. We're working to deliver better, faster cancer care now and prepare for our growing needs in the future. There's more work to do, but it's starting to make a difference.

We’ll continue to deliver better, faster ways to detect, prevent and treat cancer so people get care they can count on – and live longer, healthier lives.

"There is immense power in diversity and inclusivity. We should not only celebrate this diversity, but also protect and foster it. For far too long, racism and discrimination have marked our society, dividing us along the lines of race, ethnicity and nationality. It's our collective responsibility to change this. By embracing multiculturalism, we acknowledge that our differences empower us, rather than diminish us.

We have a lot to celebrate, but our work is far from finished. We need to amplify marginalized voices so they are not only heard, but given a seat at the table where decisions are being made. By working together, we can build a more equitable and just society for generations to come."

On National Indigenous Peoples Day, we celebrate the many ways the diversity, achievements and resilience of Indigenous Peoples have shaped BC for the better. Today is an opportunity to listen, learn and honour Indigenous cultures, traditions, languages and histories.

Here are four ways you can celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day:
• Go to a public event
• Support Indigenous tourism, businesses or artists
• Read the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 94 Calls to Action
• Learn about and acknowledge the traditional territory you live on

Today is the first official day of summer, and we're getting some warmer weather to mark the beginning of the season. While temperatures are still fairly mild in BC this week, summer brings the potential for heat events. Knowing what the different types of heat alerts mean for you and your community can help you prepare. Taking steps ahead of time to make sure you can stay cool can help keep yourself and others safe in the heat.

When you buy a BC Parks licence plate, you help preserve the places we love. Money from the Licence Plate Program supports conservation.

People in BC need homes in the communities they love, close to the services they need. That's why we're turning underused areas into homes for the people who live and work there. The ICBC headquarters in North Vancouver is set to become hundreds of new homes for people, close to services, amenities, and transit options.

Building homes near transit hubs means shorter commutes, better access to services and more options for residents. Our work to address the global housing affordability crisis is not done, but we're making progress. There are two other transit-oriented developments planned in BC, with more on the way.

"When we lead with love, good things happen. And the enhancement of this program supporting youth in care is very important because our youth are the most vulnerable. They need this warmth, a blanket to cover them, to push them through the journey of life and all of its obstacles.

All of the youth and all the communities have put so much hard work and dedication into creating supports for our peers, for our loved ones, for our brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews and cousins.

It truly takes a nation to raise a single child."

Recent changes mean more current and former youth in care will have access to the financial, housing, medical and cultural supports they need on their journey to adulthood. We've also added an unconditional monthly income support of $1,250 for 19 to 20 year olds. At this age, former youth in care are at high risk of homelessness.

آج کی رات حج کے اختٹام اور عید الاضحی کے آغاز کی علامت ہے، جو اسلام کی مقدس ترین
تقریبات میں سے ایک ہے۔

آج کے دن برٹش کولمبیا اور دنیا بھر کے مسلمان خاندان، دوستوں اور برادری کے ساتھ عید کی نماز ادا کرنے، تحائف کا تبادلہ کرنے اور دعوتوں میں شریک ہونے کیلئے جمع ہوں گے۔ یہ ہمدردی، خدمت اور قربانی کی اقدار پر غور و فکر کرنے کا موقع ہے, وہ اقدار جنہوں نے برٹش کولمبیا کو ایک بہتر جگہ بنانے میں بھی مدد کی ہے۔ تمام جشن منانے والوں کو عید مبارک!
