COVID-19 is still with us but people and businesses are working hard to get our province back on track. And record investments in the services we all count on have allowed your BC NDP government to keep people safe and put BC\u2019s economy in a strong position to recover.<\/p>\n

This week, John Horgan announced StrongerBC \u2013 a comprehensive plan that will make sure BC\u2019s recovery benefits everyone, not just the wealthy and well-connected. Together, we\u2019ll strengthen healthcare, create good jobs for people, and help businesses come back stronger.<\/p>\n

We know the recovery won\u2019t come overnight \u2013 but if we all keep working together, we can ensure our people, economy, and healthcare system are never again so dramatically impacted. Show your support for a plan that will grow a stronger BC for everyone: add your name today!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

From day one, British Columbians have stepped up to face the challenge of COVID-19. As our province heads into fall, it\u2019s time for us all to recommit to stopping the spread.<\/p>\n

John Horgan\u2019s government is leading the way with a $1.6 billion preparedness plan that will turbo-charge our efforts to protect people across BC \u2013 especially the most vulnerable.<\/p>\n

The plan includes measures to ensure more British Columbians than ever get a flu vaccine, and will recruit an estimated 7,000 new healthcare workers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

BC has an average of 1,600 wildfires every year. While many burn in remote areas away from people, the health risk posed by wildfires is increasing, partly due to climate change.<\/p>\n

BC is six months into an unprecedented pandemic. And as our province heads into fall, we want to know: how are you doing?<\/p>\n

This week, thousands of New Democrats have let us know how they\u2019re doing by filling out our End-of-Summer Survey.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not too late to tell us what you need this fall. Our eight-question End-of-Summer Survey is open until midnight on Sunday \u2013 so, have your say this weekend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The importance of investing in healthcare has never been clearer. As we all deal with the challenges of COVID-19, our government is strengthening healthcare infrastructure across the board. This week, John Horgan and Health Minister Adrian Dix announced that BC is launching Canada\u2019s first lung cancer screening program.<\/p>\n

Minister Dix: \u201cThrough early detection with this new lung cancer screening program, we will see survival rates dramatically improve. Similar to our other cancer screening programs, British Columbia is leading the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
