The Provincial Government is inviting residents to share feedback on its COVID-19 economic recovery plan.
“The pandemic has been challenging, but our province has already accomplished so much in this fight, thanks to British Columbians. We are at our best when we work together, and that’s how we’re going to move forward,” Premier John Horgan said.
“Throughout the pandemic, we’ve been meeting with businesses, labour, First Nations, not-for-profits, and more to get their perspective. We’ve heard lots of good ideas, and we are taking action. We want to hear directly from British Columbians to make sure the recovery works for them.”
There are three main ways for people to share their ideas:
- An online survey
- Responding to the paper Building B.C.’s Recovery, Together: Have Your Say by emailing [email protected]
- Participating in virtual town halls
Building B.C.’s Recovery Together details the economic effects that COVID-19 has had on B.C., in particular the job losses, and how those losses have been felt across different communities.
Nearly half of all jobs lost due to COVID-19 have been in accommodations, food services and retail said, Premier Horgan.
Women, young adults, and low-wage workers have all experienced relatively greater job losses, he added.
