Hi, everyone. I’m acting for Deputy Minister Christina this week while she is on vacation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, I\u2019d like to acknowledge the ongoing impact of wildfires across the province, including the evacuation orders this past week in Osoyoos and Downton Lake. We’re reminded that the impacts of climate emergencies are unpredictable and significant, with many B.C. communities currently experiencing drought levels 4 and 5, the most severe on the classification scale. As we begin the 2023-24 school year in a few weeks, we encourage everyone to do their part to conserve water and to ask their school communities to do the same; water conservation is everyone\u2019s responsibility. I invite you to learn more about B.C.’s response to drought conditions and the actions we can all take<\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week’s DM Bulletin includes information on new school-aged child care fee reductions and recent discipline outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wishing you a great long weekend and B.C. Day.
