Government of British Columbia

The Government of British Columbia governs the Canadian province of British Columbia (BC). It is divided into an executive (the Cabinet of BC), legislative (the Legislative Assembly of BC) and judicial branch (the Supreme Court of BC). Oftentimes, the term "Government of British Columbia" is used to refer specifically to the executive branch, namely the Cabinet of BC, which is led by the Premier of British Columbia, the province's head of government. BC's head of state is the Deputy President of British Columbia, which is a primarily ceremonial office, with virtually all executive power at the provincial level vested in the Premier of BC.
