British Columbia

Quoting from the page:

The B.C. Government commits to open ways of working to transform into a Digital Government. We leverage GitHub to achieve our objective. Our open practices let us to share source code and non-sensitive data with our government developer community and partners.

Within the Ministry of Citizens’ Services, the Developer Experience team’s purpose is offering the best support possible to developer teams. We centralize, streamline and innovate developer resources so we can contribute towards quick project starts, and facilitate continuous improvement.

Although developers work deeper in the government ecosystems, their deliverables are crucial to building public trust. Whether top-down or collaborative, developers finalize a vision by building products that both government workers and public can interact with. Joining our community

We look forward to working with you! Our team manages the centralized resource for government developers called DevHub. It has instructions for joining the bcgov organization.

Little early to the party here, but I wanted to wish the Canadian side of the Pacific Northwest a very happy Canada Day celebration. I've met so many people from this amazing province, and every conversation I've had with people from Vancouver, Victoria and inland BC have been extremely awesome (outside of Reddit of course). I visited the big Vancouver city in 2018, drove through much of inland BC on a road trip to Edmonton in 2011, and I'm visiting Vancouver Island later in July. I love British Columbia. Especially the people (outside of Reddit) and the nature.

I live in Washington (US state) and I feel sad at the political situation. I am NOT sad that Canadians are boycotting the USA en masse, and we honestly deserve it. I would happily boycott this country if I didn't live here, and I'm honestly surprised that cross border travel from British Columbia is only down 40 percent since I thought it would be much higher. I'm sad that these cultural ties that many US states have with certain Canadian provinces (like the West Coast with BC, New England with Quebec and the Maritimes) have been severely damaged and will be extremely difficult to repair. Anyways, I hate to bring the USA in this, but I definitely don't feel like celebrating 3 days after Canada Day, and I wish all Canadians a very happy Canada Day this year.

Easy, short but steep 1 mile out and back 312 ft elevation Gain Hiked 5/27/25

This short trail begins with a very steep grade down to Connaught creek (formerly bear creek) with a stair section at the lowest. Photos of the falls come from this area downstream. Climbing another staircase puts you at the falls, surrounded by a massive mist cloud. Entertaining, but no pics. This was still during melt season and it was absolutely raging at the time.

Connaught creek rushes by as Bear creek falls rages in the distance.

The steep stairwell leading to the river below.

The steepest part of the trail is these steps, but it maintains a lot of slope in its short run.

Two nurses are speaking out about violent incidents they experienced while working in the emergency department at Eagle Ridge Hospital (ERH) in Port Moody, B.C. — saying the Fraser Health Authority (FHA) has failed to provide a safe working environment, and has sought to silence employees who speak out.

Veteran nurse Arden Foley says she is not returning to work because of lingering post traumatic stress from an attack by a patient. Victoria Treacy, says she was suspended and placed under investigation by Fraser Health after she spoke out about a patient who threatened her colleagues with a machete.

The health authority said Treacy, who currently works at the hospital as a casual FHA employee, wasn't suspended or put under investigation.

However, the women's stories are two of many included in a lawsuit filed against the health authority in the B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver on June 6.
