British Columbia proved to be a good place to live, work, and invest in 2016. BC is facing some economic challenges in 2017, particularly in the resource sector. CPABC's BC Regional Check Up reports examine Job Creation, Unemployment, business and investment activity, business bankruptcies, educational attainment, and consumer insolvencies in British Columbia's development regions: Cariboo, Kootenay, Mainland/Southwest, Northeast, Northwest BC, Nechako and North Coast, Thompson-Okanagan, and Vancouver Island/Coast.
