Thanks for all that you do! 🐟

It’s official! We’re springing forward just one more time, and then we’re adopting permanent daylight savings time in BC. 🕰️
That means more sunshine and better sleep for people across our province.
It’s important as our Richmond neighbourhoods continue to grow that we continue to support student success with comfortable learning environments where they can thrive. 🍎
The new school addition at Tomsett Elementary is an investment in our students’, families’ and community’s future. 🏫
Today, I joined search and rescue members at the legislature to honour volunteers who made the ultimate sacrifice while carrying out their role in B.C.
Their loss is deeply felt by families, teammates and communities across the province. 🙏

As we watch war unleashed on Iran, we pray that innocent civilians are protected.
My thoughts are with Iranian families, who suffer under the tyranny of a brutal dictatorship and now face the horrors of war.

British Columbia’s Iranian community is strong. We stand with them in solidarity and a shared hope for peace, freedom, and safety for their families and friends.

Great discussions with the @ibabc.bsky.social - including President, Amrit Sidhu.
Whether you rent or own, home insurance is one of the best ways to protect your family, it covers the costs of repairing your home and can cover accommodation and expenses if you’re placed under an evacuation order. 🏡

Today is #PinkShirtDay. Today we must recommit and say bullying has no place in our schools, our workplaces, or our communities. Kindness is not weakness. Inclusion is not optional. Respect is not negotiable.
Let’s choose empathy. Let’s choose courage. Let’s choose each other. 💗
Today, on Pink Shirt Day, I’m reminded that creating a safe and welcoming community is something we all share responsibility for. 👚
Bullying - whether in the home, at school, online, or in the workplace - causes real harm. Choose kindness instead! 💗
Mountains in the background, white sky. Silhouettes of athletes and a red maple leaf in centre. Text reads: 19 days, 21 medals, 34 BC athletes, #1 in our hearts.

Following my meeting with Minister @kellyrichmondbc.bsky.social a couple of weeks ago, I committed to coming to the Sumas Prairie to see firsthand the impacts of the recent flooding.
Today, I was on the ground to follow through on that commitment.
Productive discussions with my Federal counterpart, Minister Olszewski on Sumas River Watershed Flood Mitigation in Abbotsford today.
With leadership from the province, Canada, local First Nations and communities all at the table - we are moving forward, together. 🍁

Please join us in observing a moment of silence at 12:00 PM (PST).

Extremely concerning situation unfolding in Tumbler Ridge. Residents of Tumbler Ridge are being asked to stay indoors as police respond to a report of an active shooter.

All our thoughts are with people in Tumbler Ridge. I’ve spoken to the mayor and local MLA, and we are offering the RCMP any additional assistance they need.

Yesterday, we got the assurance we came to Ottawa for - the federal government committed to partnering with us on flood mitigation for the Sumas Prairie.
We look forward to the critical work ahead to protect communities, infrastructure, food security, the economy and supply chains.
The #FraserValley is a lifeline for B.C. and Western Canada. This trip to Ottawa is to receive commitment from the federal government and help build resiliency to prevent devastating events like the flooding we saw in December and in 2021.
