Surrey is one of the fastest growing cities in the province, and this new state-of-the-art facility is part of our government’s work to build BC and ensure every community has the infrastructure it needs to thrive.

Today construction crews and partners gathered to celebrate the roof topping of Guru Nanak Diversity Village! This milestone brings #Surrey seniors one step closer to 125 new long-term care beds in a culturally sensitive home.

Thank you Minister Fraser for hearing BC’s call to change bail laws.

We will keep pushing to keep people and communities safe from violence and extortion.

Today, my first bill, the Sexual Violence Policy Act, passed committee stage and third reading. We are one step away from it becoming law.

This legislation strengthens protections against sexual violence on public post-secondary campuses, so campuses across B.C. can become safer for all students.

This fall, do your part to keep your loved ones safe by visiting getvaccinated.gov.bc.ca and registering to get vaccinated 💉
