β˜•οΈ Small businesses are the backbone of our communities. They drive local economies, create jobs & shape BC’s unique character.

It was great to meet with Bridgitte Anderson to discuss workforce development, BC's tariff response and strengthening business in BC.

I will continue to be a strong advocate for BC's businesses, and I'm excited to work with the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade to expand and grow BC's economy.

Our government is committed to investing in, strengthening and diversifying BC, and the best way to do that is by investing in the future workers of the province.

These upgrades today will create an environment that will foster growth and opportunity. news.gov.bc.ca/stories/bcit...

As a leader in pathways colleges, Langara College prepares 19,000 future workers every year to make sure we all have the nurses, construction professionals, and Early Childhood Educators, among other careers, we all rely on.

Thank you, Langara! You're a critical partner in making lives better.

I was pleased to speak at the BC Federation of Students' AGM. We know that post-secondary education is the most reliable pathway to the middle class.

Education and training is critical to making higher wages and strengthening B.C.’s economy. #FutureReadyBC #workforcedevelopment #bcpse

I have heard from parents and students from across the province, like Samantha, that secure and affordable housing is important to them.

Investing in people and homes is crucial for BC's growth.

Building 260+ beds on campus gives parents peace of mind about their children’s safety while they're away, lowers housing competition between them and local families, and gives students an affordable place to live. #BC
