B.C. Premier John Horgan announced Wednesday the renewal of a provincial state of emergency as the province continues its efforts to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Horgan said the state of emergency would remain in place “for the foreseeable future.”
The B.C. government also announced it would use a funding windfall of $120 million from the federal government to “decommission, reclaim or restore” more than 2,000 inactive or orphaned wells within British Columbia.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced an investment of $1.7 billion to clean up orphan wells in B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan in April to help keep people working during the COVID-19 pandemic.
