[Webinar] BC Budget 2026: What It Means for Non-Profits

The BC government has announced that their 2026 Budget will be released on February 17. This will follow a Speech from the Throne on February 12, outlining the government’s priorities for the coming legislative session.

The Budget will lay out the government’s spending plan for the year and show non-profits what to expect, making it arguably 2026’s most important piece of legislation.

Our written submission to last year’s budget consultations were reflected in the Finance Committee’s recommendations of “stable, multi-year core funding” and “updating contract and funding formulas to reflect current operational realities.”

📅 Join us on February 19, 2026, from 12:00–1:00 pm for a timely and insightful webinar unpacking BC Budget 2026

Vantage Point staff will walk through key highlights from the Budget before a panel of sector leaders share their first reactions, explore what’s missing, and discuss the real-world implications for non-profits across the province.

Whether you’re looking for a clear summary, sector-informed analysis, or space to reflect on what comes next, this session will help you make sense of the Budget and its impact on your work.

Panelists:

Andrew Price, CEO at ViaSport

Daljit Gill-Badesha, CEO at AMSSA (Affiliation of Multicultural Societies & Service Agencies of BC)

Jill Atkey, CEO at BC Non-Profit Housing Society

Matt Cook-Cantois, Senior Associate - Programs Specialist at New Relationship Trust
