5 tax tips to get what you deserve in 2023

(NC) Tax returns can feel overwhelming. H&R Block, has some tips to keep in mind for tax filing, whether it’s your first time or you’re a seasoned filer. Stay organized. Before you sit down to file or seek help from a local tax expert, gather any forms, slips and receipts you may need. Organize these monthly, including scanning and saving receipts to your computer, so you’re not scrambling in tax season.

Keep track of key deadlines. Make note of key dates on your calendar to ensure you don’t miss any deadlines. Some important dates to note for everyone:

March 1 is the last day to make any RRSP contributions.

The last day to file your taxes this year is May 1.

Research applicable tax credits. The Canada Worker Benefit is still in play this year, which could be helpful to many Canadians. Additionally, most provinces have their own benefits, such as the Climate Action Incentive Pay-

ment. It was made available to most provinces this year and can result in up to $1,000 in quarterly payments for some families.

Make use of free tax calculators. With reputable ones available online, these are a great way to help you determine if you will owe on taxes or get a refund.

Ask for help. Free tax calculators are great, but nothing beats a real-life tax expert who is trained to always help maximize your return.

Tax benefits and credits are always shifting, and so is each person’s unique situation. Find more information and a handy tax calculator at hrblock.ca.

Cost-of-living help on the way for B.C. families

Many B.C. families will see more money in their bank accounts starting Jan. 20, 2023, with the first of three enhanced BC Family Benefit payments.

The enhanced BC Family Benefit will provide families with moderate and low incomes, and children under 18, with more money in the first three months of 2023. The credit will provide as much as an additional $350 from January to March for a family with two children.

“With the rising cost of living due to global inflation and the day-today expenses that come with raising children, we know times are stressful,” said Katrine Conroy, Minister of Finance. “We’re here to help the parents who need it most with a little extra money to hopefully help take a bit of pressure off the family budget.”

Approximately 75% of B.C. families will receive the enhanced BC Family Benefit credit and approximately 84% of those families will receive

at least an additional $50 per month, per child. Eligibility is based on income and number of children. It is automatically determined when someone registers for the Canada Child Benefit, usually through their income tax return. Most families will receive the benefit as a direct deposit from the Canada Revenue Agency, alongside the federal Canada Child Benefit program.

“Looking ahead, we’ll continue to focus on driving down costs for people

T: 604.859.8618

C: 778.840.8618

e: yorkhomedesign@yahoo.ca

wherever possible,” Conroy said. “No matter what is on the horizon, we’re here for people and families to help them through these times.”

Since fall 2022, the Province has provided approximately $2 billion in supports to help people with increased costs through the BC Affordability Credit, BC Family Benefit, support for back-to-school expenses, a one-time BC Hydro rebate and a cap to keep rent increases below the rate of inflation.

3 reasons plant-based meals might be right for you

(NC) In recent years, discussions about plant-based protein and vegetarian diets have been magnified. Although these types of diets have existed for many centuries, recent studies have shown that opting for plant-based meals a few times a week can have many benefits.

1. Get added fibre

Unlike animal meats, plant-based proteins include lots of fibre, a crucial nutrient for our health.

“Various nutrients, including fibre, can have a significant role in managing our heart health, blood sugar, gut and kidney health,” notes Karen Sevong, a registered dietitian volunteer with The Kidney Foundation of Canada.

“Replacing animal-based protein with plant-based alternatives may help ease our kidneys, which help balance the acidity in our bodies by reducing the acidic load.”

But if you have kidney disease, Sevong adds that it’s important to keep in mind

phosphorus and potassium levels in plant-based ingredients.

2. Manage grocery costs

With inflation and a high cost of living, saving on groceries has become a priority for many of us. If you’re looking to cut down on your grocery bills, consider switching at least a few meals a week to plant-based ingredients. This easy switch will help keep you on budget and lower your spending.

3. Lighter environmental footprint Crop farming often uses fewer acres compared to animal farming, and often uses less reduced water too, making it a less resource-intensive option.

A healthy diet is a diet filled with nutritious food and a variety of ingredients. Adding more plant-based meals can help you diversify your meal plan to get the nutrients you need and satisfy your hunger.

For 2023 the CX-5 and receives a mild revamp with a revised front end, with a new bumper and new signature ‘wing’ that extends outward from the front grille. The rear features new

a smartphone app), and standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The new interface is controlled via the rotary controller and volume knob on the center console as well as voice commands and buttons on the steering wheel.

bumper and tailgate designs that are complemented by larger dual tailpipes. The headlights and taillights now have a pair of horizontally spaced, rectangular LED lights.

Engine choices include a naturally aspirated SKYACTIVE 2.5-liter inline-four with 187 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque. There is an optional SKYACTIVE 2.5-liter turbocharged cylinder unit producing 227 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive is standard, while all-wheel drive is optional. Fuel economy is rated at City: 10.8 (L/100 km) Highway: 8.7.

Interior wise, a 10.3-inch screen now sits atop the dashboard, replacing a smaller 7.0-inch display. The updated system features the new Mazda Connect interface, Mazda Connected Services (a Wi-Fi hotspot and access to remote vehicle functions through

detection, lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot and rear cross-traffic warning systems. Options include Adaptive cruise control is also included along with automatic reverse braking and a driver inattention warning system. Optional safety equipment included i-ACTIVSENSE safety technology, front and rear parking sensors, wide-angle rearview camera, and LED headlights with lighting signature.

The top-of -the – line versions include the Signature model as tested at Available has a revised 2.5 turbo four-cylinder that now delivers 256 hp on 93 octanes, an increase of six horsepower from the previous model year, plus 320 lb-ft of torque. On regular 87 octane, the engine provides 227 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. Turbo models also receive paddle shifters. The exterior adds: Signature wing grille surround with bright finish, Body-coloured front

and rear bumper, Body-coloured wheel arches and rocker trim and larger exhaust outlets and more. Upgraded interior trim bits, plus a higher-definition 360-degree camera, a driver-attention alert, and rear automated emergency braking are also part of the Signature package has 10-speaker, Bose, Surround Sound, 7.00-inch, Colour, Touchscreen, Voice Activating System, Audio, Phone, Carplay, Android, USB, Bluetooth, AM/FM, Satellite Radio, Wireless Charging Pad, Navigation, and head-up Display

Interior wise the Signature model has a neat, well- detailed cabin that has a sporty theme. The slick looking black leather seats are offset by plenty of shiny chrome and metal trim. Cocoa Nappa leather-trimmed upholstery and Abachi wood-trimmed dash, front, and rear door panels. The controls are simple, the gauges clear and there is a seamless uncluttered look to the dash. The front seats are roomy with good ergonomics and range of adjustment. The new Mazda’s tech interface is nicely improved and quicker to use. The rear cabin is smallish, and seats two adults in comfort, but three will be a squeeze. The CX-5 has 30.9 cubic feet of space behind the rear seat with the second row of seats down and there’s a maximum of 59.6 cubic feet of space available with the second row folded.

On the road, the 2.5L engines twin sequential dual turbochargers ensure there is plenty of acceleration and a wide power band of usable torque, especially in the mid - range. There is a wonderfully linear, quick, and crisp acceleration with minimal turbo lag. Occupants are also well insulated from rough roads thanks to the improvements to the CX-5’s suspension reducing noise, vibration, and harshness. Then revised damping also increases comfort, but at the expense of agility. Mazda’s G-Vectoring Control system also adds refinement to the performance with sharpened handling adding some downforce on the front tires

during cornering, keeping understeer to a minimum. As mentioned earlier, all-wheel drive is now standard throughout and offers superb grip. By the way, traction control is standard along with Dynamics Stability Control. Not much to complain about, room in the CX-5 is about average in this segment, not quite as spacious as most of its competitors, and the six-speed automatic transmission errs more to performance than fuel economy.

Overall, the CX-5 is a competitive CUV and has a great interior luxury and offers excellent features. Well worth considering if you are in the market for a fun to drive, nice looking compact CUV that offers superb value for money. Highly recommended.

Amendments will better protect B.C. strata owners, lessen insurance costs

Amendments to the minimum amount developers and strata corporations must contribute to contingency reserve funds will help protect owners in the small number of stratas that are neglecting maintenance needs and risking higher insurance costs.

“People living in stratas deserve to have peace of mind that their strata corporation has appropriate reserves to do routine maintenance and keep strata insurance costs down,” said Ravi Kahlon, Minister of Housing. “The overwhelming majority of stratas are doing just that, but a small

The new minimums were set with the advice of strata managers and homeowner representatives. According to strata industry experts, the vast majority of approximately 34,000 strata corporations in the province exceed this minimum amount and will not be affected by this change.

BC Financial Services Authority advised in its December 2020, Report on the State of Strata Property Insurance in British Columbia, that improved maintenance and risk-mitigation practices are needed to reduce more pressure on premiums and deductibles.

Rex Cox: About Us

In January 2022, we proudly took over the reins from two legendary gentlemen of Rex Cox Men’s Wear whose legacy had spanned 97 years at the time! We are Les Rimar and Irene Barlas Rimar, co-partners in this amazing venture and we wish to keep that same level of passion for customer service and fashion alive. Our mission is always to ensure each person who enters our store leaves with a memorable, friendly experience they truly deserve.

number of strata corporations that are underfunding their contingency funds and putting owners at risk of surprise fee hikes and higher insurance costs. While the vast majority of strata corporations are already meeting these requirements, we’re ensuring that those outliers are taking steps to protect themselves.”

In 2020, the Province introduced changes to the Strata Property Act to help stratas better manage strata insurance costs, including enabling these regulatory changes.

Strata corporations in B.C. are required to have a contingency reserve fund (CRF) to pay for infrequent common expenses, such as maintenance work and emergencies. These new rules will increase the minimum amount that developers and strata corporations are required to contribute to a CRF, from 5% to at least 10% of the annual operating expenses every year. These changes will take effect on Nov. 1, 2023.

Developers are required to include a CRF contribution in a new building’s interim budget, which under these changes will need to be equal to at least 10% of the operating expenses. This will prevent developers from advertising unrealistically low strata fees to prospective buyers, and avoid unexpected increases in strata fees in the building’s first years. For the small number of strata corporations that need to contribute more funds to their CRF to meet the new minimums, this will reduce their risk of strata insurance claims and premium increases, and significant special levies on short notice.

The Province is also enacting changes to the Form B Information Certificate. A summary of the strata corporation’s insurance coverage must be included in the form, effective April 1, 2023. This will make it easier for prospective buyers and strata owners to know whether the property is adequately insured, and the amount of insurance individual owners need to purchase.

We have spent over 30 plus years in British Columbia in the service business enjoying interactions with customers on every level and WE JUST ABSOLUTELY LOVE PEOPLE! Especially people we can create special connections with and people we can know by name and get to call our very own customers! I, Irene, have had a love and enthusiasm for beautiful clothing and fashion since I was five years old, all kinds of fashion.

Pro tips to save on your monthly grocery bills

Inflation has got many of us feeling anxious about money recently. With the rise of the cost of living, especially in food products, we’re all looking for ways to save money and stretch our food budget. Registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator Julie Hutter has some advice for how to stay on budget and save on your next grocery bill.

Give these five tips a try: Make a shopping list and stick to it. Not having a shopping list can result in overspending on unnecessary items and overstocking your pantry with duplicates. So, before your next gro-

cery trip, make it a priority to write down what you need and stick to the list when shopping.

Shop the sale section and make use of coupons.

Most grocery stores have a sale section with heavily discounted items that are usually approaching their expiration date. You can make use of these items by meal-batching and freezing them for future use. Just make sure you use them up or properly prepare them before their expiration date. For non-sale items, check out the store’s coupon flyer for extra savings.

Switch to plant-based meals.

It’s often much more cost- effective to cook plant-based meals rather than animal-based alternatives. Even if you switch a couple of meals a week, only to plant-based you can notice a reduction in your overall monthly spendings. If you’re stuck on finding plant-based meal ideas, browse the many reci-

pes available online at the Kidney Community Kitchen. Buy ingredients in bulk.

You can save a lot of money buying ingredients in bulk such as pasta, rice and flour. Remember to store these ingredients properly and use them up before their expiration date. Choose larger meat pieces.

Opting for bigger pieces and asking the butcher to cut it up for you if needed, will stretch your food dollar. Buying a whole chicken is much more cost-effective than buying legs or thighs only. Not only do you get more meat for your buck, but you can also use the bones to make homemade stock

Although it might feel overwhelming at first, if putting in the work to you carefully plan your meals and grocery trips, you can easily definitely make a difference in your grocery bills. Keep the above tips in mind next time you go grocery shopping and see the difference in your monthly spending!

Help protect one of your most important assets

(NC) Throughout life, there may be moments where you’ll make a large purchase or invest in a costly item. Whether you’re buying your first family home, a boat for your cottage or an engagement ring, you likely want to protect your new assets. Financial commitments can be just as costly, so they may be worth protecting as well. Optional mortgage, critical illness and life insurance like TD Mortgage Protection could help pay your outstanding mortgage balance in case of a covered health event. This may help protect one of your family's most important assets: your home.

A 2022 TD survey revealed almost half of Canadian respondents consider their home as their most important asset. And yet, if Canadians aren’t able to work or earn a full-time salary due to an unexpected illness or health event, this can affect their ability to pay their mortgage as a result.

B.C. launches anti-racism action plan for K-12 students

Empowering students and educators to identify and take action against racism and discrimination in British Columbia schools is the aim of a new provincial K-12 Anti-Racism Action Plan launched on Monday, Jan. 23, 2023.

“We know that Indigenous, Black and people of colour may face inequity within the education system,” said Rachna Singh, Minister of Education and Child Care. “This action plan is a critical step forward for students, educators, staff and families as we all work to create school communities that feel welcoming and supportive for people of all backgrounds.”

The action plan will create change in B.C. schools by raising awareness and creating resources to improve the school experience for racialized students, staff and families so that everyone feels a strong sense of belonging. To facilitate this work, the Ministry of Education and Child Care will provide new training opportunities for all school staff to help them better understand their role in fostering antiracist school environments. The action plan will also empower students and staff to identify biases and address acts of racism or discrimination with new incident-response guidelines.

“For generations, Indigenous, Black and people of colour have worked to fit into a system that wasn’t necessarily built for them,” said Mable Elmore, Parliamentary Secretary for AntiRacism Initiatives. “The K-12 AntiRacism Action Plan will help students and educators alike learn how to build more inclusive and equitable learning environments, so more students have equal opportunities to succeed. This action plan is an important part of our work to decolonize our institutions and build a better B.C. for everyone.”

The action plan will support school districts in their commitment to antiracism initiatives in their school communities. Partnerships and sharing resources are key elements for school districts to learn from and support each other. In Kamloops-Thompson School District (SD73), for example, more than 100 students of diverse backgrounds are working with district staff to share their experiences and ideas to help develop a district-wide anti-racism plan.

“As a board of education, we are immensely honoured and grateful to learn from the lived perspectives of students who experience racism,” said Heather Grieve, board chair, Kamloops-Thompson School District. “It is only through their words that we can develop truly authentic action plans for inclusive, safe communities in our district.”

Surrey School District (SD36) is another school district working on anti-racism initiatives. In spring 2021, SD36 held listening circles across the district for school communities to gather and share their experiences with racism. This helped to identify gaps between the district’s values to be inclusive and the lived school experiences of the community will help guide the district as it works to address racial inequality in its schools.

“As a school district, we are committed to learning, growth and continuous improvement,” said Laurie Larsen, chair, Surrey Board of Education. “Our district has clear policies on creating safe and caring environments for our staff and students. But we also recognize that there is more work needed. Over the coming months, we’ll be sharing a five-year plan that outlines how our district will begin to strategically address racial equity to ensure that every student in our district receives a high-quality, culturally sustaining and socially just education.”

This action plan was developed through discussions over three years with students, rightsholders and Indigenous partners, education partners, educators and staff, as well as community organizations. Future anti-racism work by the Ministry of Education and Child Care will continue to incorporate feedback from the education sector and those with lived experiences of racism.

All school districts and independent schools are required to have codes of conduct and policies to address racism and discrimination. In addition, students and families now have access to more anti-racism resources on the Erase website.

The K-12 Anti-Racism Action Plan is part of government’s commitment to dismantle systemic racism and build a better, more inclusive province for everyone.

Canadian ministers focus on protecting people’s online information

Establishing ways to further protect the online identity of Canadians to ensure people’s information is safer and more private was the central theme of a ministers’ symposium in Vancouver this week.

The Symposium on Digital Trust and Cybersecurity brought together ministers and deputy ministers from the federal, provincial and territorial governments. The symposium signalled a commitment from governments to take the lead in protecting personal information in the digital world. The meeting was a followup to the first ministerial gathering on digital trust and cybersecurity in June 2022 in Quebec City.

“People increasingly expect secure and safe access to digital services, so we’re working toward providing new digital tools to ensure Canadians are safe online,” said Lisa Beare, Minister of Citizens’ Services. “The ministers’ symposium was a clear indication that Canadian jurisdictions are united in the goal of empowering people and businesses to participate confidently and securely in the digital world.”

Ministers agreed to work toward making it possible for every province and territory to provide Canadians with digital credentials, which are issued to an individual and contain verified information about that person or their business. These credentials

are held in a digital wallet on a smartphone and can be used by the person or business to prove facts about themselves online. Digital credentials reduce fraud, increase people’s online confidence, and streamline and simplify service delivery.

Government has started its exploration of digital credentials with a pilot project underway with a small number of B.C. lawyers.

In co-operation with the Law Society of British Columbia and the B.C. government, participating lawyers have received a digital credential in a new BC Wallet, proving their status as a practising lawyer. To access court materials remotely from the Court Services Branch, lawyers present their credential digitally. This is the first time B.C. lawyers have been able to do this.

The BC Wallet is being developed by the Ministry of Citizens’ Services for eventual wider use by British Columbians for storing and managing digital identities and credentials, such as licences, permits, professional memberships, certificates and IDs.

There will at last be some forward movement after having been placed in a situation of having to stop and think since late October. It may be easier to gain agreement from others, if that is necessary. Perhaps they will have better understanding of what is important to you. A past family matter could come up again unexpectedly.

It might be good to review your plans you had for the future. Something that gives you greater independence in some way could appeal more right now, especially if you can see that there would be a lot more to handle than you first anticipated. Your priorities might need to change when it comes to how you spend your money.

Unbeknown to you, somebody could be changing their mind in a way that could affect you financially by costing you more money. You will find you can move forward this week after some blockages and hold ups that could have been affecting you since late October. Stay well and truly focussed on your own needs for now.

The Full Moon has just occurred in your sign. It could have brought some surprises where others are concerned – they could make some decisions you didn’t expect. Your priorities could undergo some significant changes you were not exactly planning earlier. Take notice of what other people might be trying to tell you.

Things you had planned to get organised have likely been held up for one reason or another. It might seem overwhelming. This could encourage you to look at making usual routines more efficient by cutting out a few unnecessary things. Don’t be afraid to let others know what is a priority to you. Don’t presume they already know.

Something you enjoyed in the past could begin to appeal to you again, especially if it involved you with a group of people. You are coming into a better position to be able to get commitments or responsibilities under better control, especially if there hasn’t been much you could do about it since late October. It will be up to you now.

A family matter that wasn’t fully settled in the past can come up again. It might be easier for you to realise now that too much is generally expected of you. There are your own future goals to consider and while you might have felt a bit stuck since late October in being able to focus properly on them, things are beginning to turn around.

Someone might have to accept that if you want to change your find about something, you will. It really doesn’t matter what was promised in the past. You might be able to see more clearly how matters would develop in the future and realise it is not something you want. You need to feel you have some control.

You could be surprised at what might surface with someone else. They could become more direct after having been difficult to ascertain since late October. Don’t be afraid to ask any questions you might have – it could actually open discussion up more than you initially expect. You have nothing to lose.

Something can become much more obvious with somebody else. This can bring up all sorts of questions on your part and you should take the opportunity to get some sort of discussion going on. Things that have interfered with keeping on track with daily routines in your life since late October will now begin to have less effect.

You can get back to something you enjoy that might have had blockages, one way or another since late October. There can still be some minor hold ups but they will pass soon enough. This is a good time to concentrate on getting a good foundation in place that you feel is more streamlined, resulting in a greater sense of balance.

You should find the energy returning that has been a bit lacking since late October to get things organised, particularly when it comes to home or family matters. You could come across somebody from the past in a social situation or one that involves you with a group of people. It might be good to reminisce about the old times.

Applications open for Homelessness Community Action Grants

Indigenous organizations and other groups that work with people facing homelessness throughout British Columbia are encouraged to apply for the Province’s Homelessness Community Action Grants.

“The Homelessness Community Action Grants program is about empowering local organizations to increase awareness and support for those experiencing homelessness, while changing the conversation around the stigma and complex challenges associated with breaking the cycle of poverty,” said Ravi Kahlon, Minister of Housing. “With the success of the first round of projects the need to fund another round of grants was clear. We were encouraged by the excellent Indigenous-led and focused projects and encourage more communities to come forward with ideas that can be supported and shared.”

Budget 2022 provides $6 million to the Homelessness Community Action Grant program. The program, administered by the Social Planning and Research Council of British Columbia (SPARC BC), awards grants for as

much as $50,000 to help communities and organizations better understand and respond to homelessness. SPARC is accepting applications.

In 2018, the Province committed $6 million to start the grant program, which has funded 182 grant projects in urban and rural communities. Approximately one-quarter of the projects are Indigenous-focused.

One such project is the Aboriginal Housing Society of Prince George’s Community Voicemail project, a free service that provides voicemail phone numbers to 500 low-income and homeless residents in Prince George. Participants can share the number with service providers.

This service supports self-sufficiency while reducing and preventing homelessness. It removes the challenges and barriers many people face in obtaining a phone contract and avoids additional phone fees for people who do have phones. It provides a crucial resource to help people get mentalhealth or substance-use care, find employment or access housing.

“It is nice to be a part of a program that offers a hand up,” said Hawa Ayorech, community programs coordinator, Aboriginal Housing Society of Prince George. “It is joyous to see the shocked look in one’s face when they learn the program is free. We at Aboriginal Housing Society are grateful to be involved in this initiative.”

The Homelessness Community Action Grants support community-based projects, partnerships, research and other collaborative efforts to respond to gaps in the system of services and supports for people who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. Chosen projects build on local resources and knowledge about homelessness and its causes, increase public awareness and support, and respond to gaps in services for people experiencing homelessness.

Projects should build on local resources and knowledge about homelessness and its causes, increase public awareness and support, and respond to gaps in services for people experiencing homelessness.

“It has been an honour and privilege for SPARC BC to have the opportunity to steward this program on behalf of the Government of British Columbia and to work together with community leaders who are on the front lines of this crisis,” said Lorraine Copas, executive director, SPARC. “This initiative speaks to the creativity, ingenuity, resilience and commitment of people across the Province who work tirelessly to address this ongoing challenge through the unique local contexts and solutions that exist in their communities. This program continues to make a tremendous difference in the lives of homeless individuals across B.C.”

Grant projects are underway throughout the province in rural and urban communities, and are inclusive of people with diverse and distinct needs, including First Nations, Métis, Inuit and Indigenous Peoples, seniors, youth, 2SLGBTQ+ people, women, people living with disabilities, and racialized and immigrant populations.

New jobs fund will support employment, resilient economies

The StrongerBC Economic Plan is delivering support for people in rural British Columbia through a new fund that will diversify local economies, promote value-added innovation in the forestry sector and create thousands of good-paying jobs for British Columbians.

“We need to get more good-paying jobs from our forests and every resource in our province,” said Premier David Eby. “The investments we are making in rural B.C. will help do that by supporting companies to get into the business of creating value-added products, like mass timber. Our whole province benefits when local workers and their families can build good lives in the rural communities they call home.”

The Government of B.C. will invest as much as $90 million over three years through the new BC Manufacturing Jobs Fund. The fund will support high-value industrial and

manufacturing projects to drive clean and inclusive growth in rural, remote and Indigenous communities.

“In B.C., our economic advantage is our people,” said Brenda Bailey, Minister of Jobs, Economic Development and Innovation. “As our natural resource sector transitions, our government is investing in local economies to provide new opportunities that will create jobs and ensure long-lasting prosperity for people throughout our province.”

The fund will support established for-profit organizations to plan and launch shovel-ready projects that bring direct benefits and stable, family-supporting jobs to regional and Indigenous communities.

For example, the BC Manufacturing Jobs Fund may provide funding to a forestry company that needs to buy new equipment to support new product lines, such as mass timber

production or paper packaging, or smaller-diameter tree processing and manufacturing, or a company that wants to build or expand a plastics-alternative manufacturing facility in a rural community.

“Forestry is a foundation of B.C.’s economy,” said Bruce Ralston, Minister of Forests. “By driving innovation across the sector, we can ensure more value-added wood products are made in B.C. and create more jobs for every tree harvested. Now is the time to work together to build a stronger, more resilient forestry industry that better works for people and communities.”

The BC Manufacturing Jobs Fund will focus on areas experiencing

economic impacts from changes in the forestry sector.

The new fund is part of the Forest Worker Community Support initiatives and the StrongerBC Economic Plan’s work to build resilient communities. The fund is in addition to the $185-million support package announced in Budget 2022 to ensure that co-ordinated and comprehensive supports are in place to offset any economic impacts from a changing forestry industry.
