How not to squander our resource wealth

Saving up for a rainy day, or for retirement, is a challenge most people understand, but can governments be persuaded to take the same approach? Now is the time for British Columbians to discuss what kind of fund the province needs and what we can realistically expect it to deliver

We encourage all British Columbians to join a conversation about what the BC Prosperity Fund might become.

UPDATES: Read what Advisory Council member Bud Smith had to say about the report in The Victoria Times-Colonist. Vancouver Sun columnist Don Cayo also discussed our findings here.
