The Government of B.C. released Budget 2021, which includes substantial support for people and businesses impacted by the pandemic. The investment in B.C.’s future was also significant – from mitigating the impact of climate change and protecting our environment, to growing a clean economy, and making sure people have the skills needed for in-demand jobs.
The budget follows the government’s recent announcement of the StrongerBC Future Leaders Program, which focuses on skills training and includes support to expand our Canadian Tech Talent Accelerator.
