British Columbia has approved a major expansion of the Red Chris mine, allowing the northwest B.C. operation to shift from open-pit to underground mining.
It’s unclear how long the rescue operation will take for three workers who have been trapped underground at a northwest B.C. mine since Tuesday morning.
According to provincial data supplied to MyPGNow.com, there are between 17,000 and 18,000 operational $10-a-day childcare spaces in B.C.
This accounts for 10 percent of all licensed childcare spots in the province, with the remaining 90% not part of the program.Â
