These are the leaders of BC’s rehab and recovery work.

Brain injuries, illness, accidents, any of these can offset your and your family’s life entirely.

We’re working with them to ensure the supports are in place, so that the resources you need aren’t out of reach.

Proud to say that we are continuing our work towards disability justice by removing the spousal cap for couples where both partners are on PWD. As of December 1st, couples will receive the same disability benefit as two single individuals. This change will benefit thousands of households across BC.

Not just Japan and South Korea, but Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and more.

We’re working to put our forest products at the centre of economies across the globe. To strengthen established relationships, and to find new ones. 

A global customer base.

Too reliant on the US. Too dependent on one trade partner. And we’re feeling the consequences.

Diversification is a need. We can be a powerhouse in the global market, we just need to make the first move.

This trade mission is a step toward strengthening BC forestry.

We’re celebrating Korean Heritage Month here in the people’s house.

The diversity of BC courses through every aspect of our lives. It defines us, it supports us. 

Together let’s recognize the foundational role Korean BCers play in our lives, our culture, our economy.

$241M invested in our workers. Workers who’ll build economy-defining major projects.

This is the doubling of skilled trades training opportunities. Good jobs, bigger paycheques and benefits for all. BC is becoming Canada’s economic engine.

Thanks to Scott Lunny and the USW for being such strong partners.

Workers will always have a seat at our table — that’s how we build a stronger, fairer future for B.C.

Look West: built for people to succeed. A real plan to deliver major projects, create good jobs, and strengthen our economic security amidst global threats.

We have the resources the world needs, the ports to move them, and workers to get big projects built.

Invasive species silently affect our environment, our economy.

But we have partners like the Invasive Species Council who invest time and resources into fighting back on behalf of BC.

Today was an opportunity to re-affirm our shared commitment to this mission.

It was the largest BC forestry trade mission to-date. And we’re leaving with some concrete achievements.

The last leg, as we traveled South Korea, brought real opportunities for our forest sector to expand its customer base and find new applications, opportunities.

#bcpoli

$200B of private investment into major projects, doubling of skilled trades training funding, good paying jobs, and more opportunities.

The Look West economic plan is the strategy that will transform BC into Canada’s powerhouse.

South Korea needs to build 2.7 million homes in 5 years. We’re going to be the ones to supply lumber to this growing sector.

Rick Doman and the FII team made this trade mission a reality. And they’re going to help us lead our next phase of diversification.

I want to congratulate my brother, Aman Singh, on his election as President of the BC NDP.

Aman has been a fighter for human rights his whole life, through his law practice and as former MLA.

He will lead our party with care, vision, and a commitment to people.

#BCNDP #bcpoli

We've got a lot on the agenda for today.

Although it's the last day of convention, it's only the beginning of our work. What we decide today, determines our work into the future.

So let's finish strong, and outline the bright future we're going to bring to BC.

#bcpoli #BCNDP

The Premier, defining the moment for BC. 

He took the stage to outline what’s in front of us, and what we must do to overcome it. To deliver for BC, and make life better.

We have a bright future as the engine of Canada economy. Under his leadership, we’ll get there.

#bcpoli

One big family, celebrating the life of one of our heroes: Premier John Horgan.

John was a leader and an advocate, but more so, he was a friend to all. A one of a kind man.

What an honour it was to lead our celebration of John from Langford.

#bcpoli

The first full day of convention begins.

And who better to kick it off than our hardest working friend and fighter: Grace Lore. 

We’ve got a full slate of resolutions and debate ahead, so let’s get after it.

#BCNDP #bcpoli

Nearly 1000 proud New Democrats, all under one roof.

Convention is here, starting with the YND Convention.

This was the last year I qualified to attend with the YND, but unfortunately I'm still making the journey back from South Korea.

To our Young New Democrats - make us proud.

Today, our trade mission comes home. To bring what we saw and learned in Japan and South Korea back to the

Japan and South Korea are only the start of the new global presence for BC forestry.

Aman is exactly the kind of leader our party needs in this moment: steady, compassionate, courageous, and unafraid to roll up his sleeves and do the work.

That’s why I’m proud to stand with him, and why I’m proud to support Aman Singh for President of the BC NDP.

You see that lived experience in the way he shows up for others, the way he lifts people up, and the way he refuses to back down when it comes to justice, equity, and opportunity for all.

Aman leads with heart, with principle, and with a deep understanding of what it means to struggle, to persevere, and to stand up for what’s right. He knows the challenges facing everyday people because he’s lived them.

At the BC NDP Convention, we come together to elect the team to lead us into the future. These decisions matter not just for our movement but for people across BC who count on us to fight for them.

I’m supporting my friend Aman Singh & his incredible team of candidates.
