Hi PAOV,
The Government of British Columbia is implementing the CleanBC plan and taking action on climate change. Identifying the more impactful projects and implementing them first is important for achieving early successes on the ground.
This webinar will introduce you to a decision-making framework to help identify and evaluate energy efficiency, electrification, and other clean energy projects. We will dive deeper into residential energy efficiency incentives (Better Homes and Home Renovation Rebate programs) and community-scale clean energy projects that help to reduce emissions and to decarbonize energy systems in British Columbia. We will discuss examples of effective projects, providing insights into successes and challenges. We'll then discuss resources and support available for getting your project off the ground!
Join the BC Sustainable Energy Association in partnership with the Community Clean Energy Branch and the Energy Efficiency Branch of the BC Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources on April 23rd, 2020 at noon.
Date: April 23rd, 2020
Time:

GOOD NEWS - MSP coverage expanded to all uninsured people for COVID-19 testing and treatment!

Paov --
This crisis has made clear that barriers to health care only increase risk. BC is moving in the right direction by starting to expand health coverage to those who were previously uninsured. Now, all migrants in BC (including newly-landed permanent residents, temporary foreign workers, international students, those who have been rendered undocumented and those who have been stuck here since the borders closed) will have vital access to COVID-19 related health care. This is an important step towards ensuring equitable access to Universal Public Health Care while also helping to safeguard all of our health.
MSP coverage for migrants has been amended in a number of ways during the crisis. Information concerning extended coverage can be found on the BC Government...

Paov --
This past week has been unlike anything we have ever experienced.
Like so many of you, we spent the past week checking on our neighbours, sorting out working-from-home arrangements, providing essential services, and trying to make sense of the daily news updates. We hope you are well and staying safe.
We are all in awe of the people on the front lines working to keep us all safe and healthy. These public healthcare heroes - healthcare workers and support support staff in the hospitals, community and social services workers, lab technicians, pharmacists and first responders - are saving lives every day and deserve a huge thank you from all of us.
You can say a big thank you
to our health care workers - first by staying home - but also

started in Europe and has now spread across Canada. In BC, the
residents in Vancouver’s West End led the applause, and it is...
