Amid mounting pressures on public services, an unrelenting affordability crisis and significant economic uncertainty, the BC budget was widely expected to be an austerity budget—with government messaging signalling ahead of time sharp cuts to public services, health care and supports for families and seniors.
In this session, our speakers share their analysis of this year’s BC budget, what’s missing and what it signals going forward.
Hear insights from co-executive director and senior economist Iglika Ivanova, policy analyst Véronique Sioufi and special guest Stand.earth campaigns director Sven Biggs on what the budget means for BC’s economic and climate direction and—most importantly—how it impacts you and your community.
