British Columbia's 2025 Budget was delivered Tuesday morning on the same day tariffs by the United States on Canada kicked off an unprecedented and unpredictable trade war. For the third year in a row, Vancity Community Foundation was there in Victoria to help deliver you the highlights from the announcement.

At Vancity Community Foundation, a core priority for us is helping restoring affordability through initiatives that grow community-owned assets, distribute collective benefits, and create economic conditions for thriving. But we cannot do this work on our own. That’s why our advocacy work with government is critical. Just like last year, we had a team in Victoria analyzing the provincial budget announcement and bringing you some highlights.

Here at Vancity Community Foundation, we know that strong government funding is key to building communities that are affordable, resilient, equitable, and in Right Relations with the land. A major part of this work includes our advocacy to government. That is why we had a team in Victoria for today’s budget announcement to help make sense of the numbers and provide some important highlights.
