B.C. is moving major projects forward faster to create good jobs, grow our economy, and secure our future as Canada’s economic engine.
We’re speeding up permits and approvals to get shovels in the ground sooner – to create benefits and opportunities for people in every part of B.C. during this time of global uncertainty.
These projects deliver clean energy, critical minerals and natural gas the world needs. They help build a stronger Canadian economy, reduce our reliance on the United States, and give B.C. a competitive edge globally. The projects also generate revenue to help deliver the hospitals, schools, homes and services we rely on.
Businesses and First Nations are working together – every major project moving forward today has First Nations as partners, supporters or investors.
This work is a part of Look West – a targeted plan to strengthen B.C. and Canada’s economic security in the face of global conflict and uncertainty. The proposed projects represent:
35 major projects including 18 initial priority projects announced in 2025
Tens of thousands construction and long-term jobs in communities across B.C.
$88 billion in investment towards $200 billion goal by 2035
