Description

The BC Progress Board tracks changes in the economic performance and social well-being of British Columbia. The Board was established in 2001, and consists of 18 business executives and academic leaders. The Board has two mandates: - Measure and benchmark British Columbia's performance over time and relative to other jurisdictions, in order to determine if BC's competitiveness and quality of life are improving; - Advise the Premier on strategies, policies and actions that could enhance BC's economic and social wellbeing regardless of whether government, business or individual actions are required. The Board produces benchmark reports that describe the state of the province's economy, innovativeness, education, environment, health and societal performance. The Board's benchmarking work has two objectives: - Help make BC a leader in the economy, innovation and education; - Help make BC a leader in the environment, health and society. For each objective, the Board has three core targets and 13 performance indicators. Under the "Economy, Innovation, and Education" objective, the core targets are: economic growth, standard of living, and jobs. Under the "Environment, Health and Society" objective, the core targets are: environmental quality, health outcomes, and social condition.
