Here's what the 2026 BC Provincial Election parties are promising.

BC NDP

  • Match donations to the Canadian Red Cross up to $20M for people affected by this summer's wildfires

    "If re-elected, the BC NDP will match donations to the Canadian Red Cross up to $20 million for people affected by this summer’s wildfires, especially to support those who are uninsured and underinsured. Unlike immediate emergency assistance, these funds will help provide longer-term support as people recover and rebuild." — bcndp.ca, retrieved 2026-10-13

  • Rebuild public infrastructure, including road repairs, debris removal, and soil remediation on municipal, uninsured, and underinsured propeties

  • Provide interest-free loans of up to $1M to small businesses impacted by the tariffs or wildfires

    "Direct financial relief: The Small Business Tariff & Wildfire Relief Fund provides interest-free loans of up to $1 million for up to 72 months to help small businesses recover from the recent wildfires or Donald Trump’s unfair tariffs." — bcndp.ca, retrieved 2026-10-13
