BC is strengthening public health care by attracting more health-care professionals from the US. Since launching targeted recruitment in March 2025, we’ve received more than 2,750 job applications from US health-care professionals.

After a year of targeted efforts, the B.C. government says it has recruited hundreds of health-care workers from the United States. vancouver.citynews.ca/2026/03/17/eby…

The lawns of BC’s iconic parliament buildings will soon transform into a soccer fan’s dream when FIFA’s countrywide celebration programme, Canada Celebrates, gets a test run in Victoria on March 31. The series of free-to-the-public, one-day community celebrations is set to travel the country from coast-to-coast-to-coast in the lead up to and during the FIFA World Cup 2026™ tournament. Canada Celebrates will bring soccer fans together for live match viewings, soccer-themed activations, cultural programming, music, food and more, all designed to engage fans and communities outside of Toronto and Vancouver—Canada’s host cities for the FIFA World Cup. The March 31 test event on the Legislative Assembly grounds is strategically timed to stream two of the four European play-off final showdowns for the FIFA World Cup 2026, as well as the Canada’s Men’s National Team friendly against Tunisia. “There is so much momentum and good will surrounding this event,” said Raj Chouhan, Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, “We are honoured to host it. Members have really come together in support of this, not to mention the community.” In matching FIFA World Cup 2026™ Vancouver scarves, Government and Official Opposition Members — including Premier @Dave_Eby and Interim Conservative Leader @TrevHal — gathered on the steps of the Legislature earlier this week to showcase their enthusiasm. “British Columbians are huge soccer fans and we are absolutely thrilled to be hosting seven of the FIFA World Cup games in beautiful Vancouver,” said Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport @AnneKangBurnaby , “Now we have the privilege of hosting the first Canada Celebrates fan experience here in Victoria. It’s wonderful.” Official Opposition critic for Sport, @MDHALIWAL4BC, echoed the sentiment: “I love soccer and I love the energy that the @FIFAWorldCup is bringing to our province. @FIFAcom Canada Celebrates community stops are great—good for tourism, good for business, and good for the soul.” Canada Celebrates events are open to the public and there is no admission fee. This test event will offer a preview of elements of the Canada Celebrates experience ahead of the full programming that will be rolled out when Canada Celebrates officially kicks-off in June 2026.

When we turn the clocks ahead on March 8, it will be the last time change ever for BC. We're changing to a permanent daylight saving time, simply called Pacific Time (PT). Learn more: News.gov.bc.ca/33415

Many ask about our work with First Nations. The Eskay Creek mine, announced today, would not exist without the partnership of Tahltan Nation. Thousands of jobs. Funding services in your community. High demand critical minerals. All because of the collaboration with Tahltan.

Canada will never be taken over. Not by China. Not by Trump. We will always be the TRUE NORTH strong and free. 🇨🇦

You’re on the right path, Mark. Canada must stand on our own two feet. British Columbia has your back. theglobeandmail.com/politics/artic…

On day 8 of our Administration, @GovKathyHochul and I announced the beginning of universal childcare in NYC.  No longer will New Yorkers be forced to choose between starting a family and continuing to live in the city they love. This only happened because of you.

Turning reconciliation into a wedge issue might generate headlines, but it would come at the expense of jobs and prosperity for British Columbians. We all want to build the B.C. of our dreams. To get there, the path forward is together — or not at all. vancouversun.com/opinion/op-ed/…
