It demonstrates how responsible development of British Columbia’s resources creates jobs and innovation throughout the province, both directly and indirectly, while maintaining a clean and healthy environment. And Resource Works shows how the long-term economic future of British Columbia including the Lower Mainland depends on the responsible development and extraction of the province’s resources.
