B.C.’s NDP government and Health Minister Josie Osborne spent six months on a health-care review that found just $60M in savings across the health authorities.

The British Columbia government has confirmed that Domtar will permanently shut down its pulp mill in Howe Sound, affecting approximately 350 workers. Forests Minister Ravi Parmar described the decision as an 'immensely difficult day' for the Sunshine Coast, emphasizing the long-term impact on families and communities that have relied on the industry for generations. The government plans to engage with affected communities to provide support, including mental health resources, for displaced workers. Union Unifor criticized the closure as evidence of a 'deepening crisis' in the forestry sector, warning that the industry's collapse could be imminent without government intervention. This follows previous mill closures by Domtar in Crofton and Canfor's Northwood mill in Prince George. The decision highlights ongoing challenges in the resource sector, with economic and social repercussions for regional communities. Environmental concerns about industrial activity in Howe Sound may also intensify as the region grapples with job losses and economic uncertainty.

The Enbridge Sunrise pipeline expansion project has officially started near Prince George, British Columbia, marking a significant step in Canada's energy infrastructure development. Federal Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson announced the $4-billion project, which was approved by the Canadian government just three months prior, is now underway. The expansion involves extending the existing West Coast natural gas pipeline and constructing 139 km of new pipeline between Chetwynd and the U.S. border, with 11 looping segments. The project, owned by Enbridge and 38 First Nations, aims to connect northern B.C.'s abundant natural gas reserves to southern markets. Resource Works' Stewart Muir highlighted the project's scale, noting it uses the largest diameter pipes available. The pipeline will be manufactured in Saskatchewan, creating approximately 2,500 jobs in B.C., including 1,300 in the Prince George region. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2028, providing a much-needed economic boost to the area. However, the announcement comes amid challenges for the forestry sector, as Canfor recently announced the closure of the Northwood pulp mill in Prince George, affecting 300 jobs. The federal government has pledged $2 billion to support the industry, but concerns remain about the sustainability of regional economic pathways.
