BC NDP
  • Provide $4M/year to scale up workforce development and training opportunities via the Youth Climate Corps

    "Expanding the Youth Climate Corps: We will expand our investment in the Youth Climate Corps of BC, providing $4 million annually to scale up workforce development and training opportunities for young people across BC. From providing FireSmart home assessments to ecological restoration and invasive species removal, the Youth Climate Corps of BC connects youth aged 17-30 with important job opportunities offering a livable wage to help build up climate resiliency." — bcndp.ca, retrieved 2026-10-13

  • Provide $50M/year to support households to switch to heat pumps

    "Installing more heat pumps in homes: More British Columbians are now installing heat pumps to cool and heat their homes instead of gas-fired furnaces, a move that reduces emissions and utility bills. A BC NDP government will build on that momentum with a new $50 million per year to support even more households to make the switch. The BC Conservatives will slash these investments resulting in higher emissions and utility bills." — bcndp.ca, retrieved 2026-10-13

BC NDP
  • Invest $16M/year to triple the number of electric vehicle charging ports over the next decade

    "Building EV charging network: Significant progress has been made in building the province’s public EV charging network but there is much more to do.

  • Provide benefits to oil and gas companies that headquarter in BC

    "• The LNG sector has less of a presence in BC today than it did a decade ago. We will encourage the proponents of BC LNG and BC oil and gas to come back home to BC, to domicile here and increase their physical presence in the province where they operate.

    • We will do this in a framework that has upside for the proponents through direct engagement: domiciling in BC has to be good for project proponents while increasing investment and benefits for BC."

    • Given the current global context, as soon as BC's investment doors are open under a new BC Conservative government, we will engage with former and new proponents for investment in natural gas and LNG in BC."
