We want to make government more open, accountable and accessible to those it serves – you, the people of British Columbia.
You have told us open government is about participating in the process to improve the policies and services that impact your lives. It’s also about being more open with information and giving people more access and tools to the services they need and use.
As a government, we want to hear from the people we serve. We do not have all the answers, nor do we pretend to.
We have been listening to the concerns of British Columbians and delivering – be it on a provincial level, working in conjunction with local partners, or just improving online services and access to information.
More information is now available on DataBC, with more uploaded weekly. DataBC is your place to find data, services, applications and the tools you need to help you make informed decisions, develop ideas to improve government policies.
In making the second Monday in February Family Day, B.C.’s new statutory holiday, we listened to British Columbians. Record numbers participated in online discussions and shared their thoughts. More than 31,000 people voted on their preference, and consultations were made with labour, business and public sector organizations.
We’ve increased the number of FrontCounter BC offices, giving more British Columbians access to provincial government services.
In conjunction with the Union of British Columbia Municipalities, we’re working on poverty reduction strategies in seven municipalities.
We’re hearing from leaders in Burns Lake to help them rebuild after the mill tragedy in their community.
We’re listening to seniors and their families in shaping the role of the Office of the Seniors Advocate.
These efforts are paying off – B.C. was ranked number one in Canada for eGovernment by the Stratford Institute, and we’ve earned the silver medal in open government at this year’s Institute of Public Administration/Deloitte Public Sector Leadership Awards.
While we’ve accomplished a great deal, our government knows more work must be done – and we will continue the work to enhance open government.
If you have an idea about improving open government, we want to hear it! Please let us know how government can serve you by contacting us.
