Following a year of economic uncertainty, BC anticipates some growth in 2026, though it is expected to be limited. Deloitte Canada forecasts a 1.6% GDP growth for BC in 2026, slightly up from the forecasted 1.4% growth in 2025, according to its report titled Reset over resolutions: Building economic momentum in 2026. …Although BC hosts two of the five major nation-building projects announced last fall—LNG Canada Phase 2 and the Red Chris Mine—weakness in the forestry sector offsets this positive momentum, according to the global professional services firm. …The impact is already visible.
