In 2021 the provincial economy will expand by 4.8%. This is a strong growth number by Chg Forecast historic standards but comes in the wake of a very steep downturn and only results in the B.C. economy regaining just over half of the economic output lost in 2020.

  • Evacuation Operational Guide for First Nations and Local Authorities In
    EVACUATION OPERATIONAL GUIDE FOR FIRST NATIONS AND LOCAL AUTHORITIES IN BRITISH COLUMBIA A guide to managing evacuations during emergency response 2nd edition, 24 July, 2021 AMENDMENT RECORD Version # Release Date Description 1 2009 Original document with templates 2 July 4, 2019 Fully revised document with templates 3 July 24, 2021 Update to Natural Gas shut off recommendation 2 For advice and assistance with an evacuation, contact EMBC’s 24/7 Emergency Coordination Centre at 1-800-663-3456 and request to speak with the Regional Duty Manager for your region, or PREOC, if activated. EVACUATION QUICK-REFERENCE GUIDES The quick-reference guides on the following pages provide a simplified reference tool for Emergency Operation Centres (EOC) or designated community contacts (CC) to follow when issuing an Evacuation Alert, Order, or Rescind. For a glossary of all acronyms used in this guide, refer to Appendix A. A NOTE ABOUT FIRST NATIONS’ USE OF SOLE, EVAUCATION ALERT, ORDER, RESCIND TEMPLATES Based on engagement with various First Nations communities and agencies across BC, and with Indigenous Services Canada (ISC), the Province now recommends declaring a State of Local Emergency (SOLE); and issuing Evacuation Alerts, Orders, and Rescinds for both First Nations communities on reserve as well as Local Authorities. It has been a common practice for First Nations to utilize Band Council Resolutions (BCR) for these purposes, and they are welcome to continue to do so, should they choose. While it is not a mandatory process for non-treaty First Nations to declare a SOLE; or to issue Evacuation Alerts, Orders and Rescinds as recommended within this guide, choosing to do so will allow for one simple process for all communities with the intention of reducing communication barriers .
