DBRS Releases Report on Province of British Columbia

DBRS has today released a report on the Province of British Columbia (the Province) that provides further detail on the recent confirmation of the Province’s ratings at AA (high) and R-1 (high).

The confirmation reflects the fact that British Columbia’s credit profile continues to be supported by a relatively low debt burden and strong fiscal discipline, leaving the Province with ample flexibility to withstand unforeseen fiscal pressures.

Today’s report and the April 20, 2011, press release are available at www.dbrs.com.
