Kamloops stakeholders react to B.C budget
KAMLOOPS — On Tuesday the B.C. Liberals delivered their fifth consecutive balanced budget and from all accounts, B.C classrooms and the Health Ministry stand to benefit the most.
The education budget will increase by $470-million over the next three years, while health programs will receive a significant increase of $4.2-billion, with a heavy emphasis on funding mental health and substance issues for youth.
This year’s Liberal budget may be balanced, but does it provide enough support to local sectors in Kamloops?
