The BC Campus Open Textbooks Project was Canada’s first official open textbook project. Funding for the first stage was announced by the B.C. provincial government's Ministry of Advanced Education in October 2012, with a second round of funding being announced in the spring of 2014, particularly for trades and skills training.
