B.C. invests in First Nations language, arts, culture and heritage revitalization
B.C. has incredible language diversity and is home to 34 First Nations languages, which make up more than half of all First Nations languages in Canada. Past colonial policy and the residential school system tried to extinguish Indigenous languages and cultures.
That’s why we are providing $34.75 million to the First Peoples Cultural Council (FPCC) to support First Nations communities to revitalize their languages, cultures, arts and heritage.

Minister's statement on May's Labour Force Survey results
With the lowest unemployment in three years, BC continues to lead Canada’s economic recovery. Instead of making deep cuts and giving tax breaks to those at the top, our government chooses to invest in people.
We're going to keep working to build a stronger, more sustainable economy that works for everyone in BC.
