7/ “This shows the risks of relying on the advice of one individual," said BC Green MLA Jeremy Valeriote. "We hope that the BC NDP use this as an opportunity to meaningfully engage with a range of experts and those with lived and living experience as they review and reform the Mental Health Act."

Congratulations to the Council of Canadians with Disabilities, and Health Justice, on their recent win in the BC Supreme Court. This decision recognizes the dignity, autonomy, and rights of all people, including those experiencing mental health or substance use challenges. #bcpoli

Thank you so much to everyone who cheered, volunteered, or competed in #Squamish Days. My West Vancouver - Sea to Sky team and our secret weapon (Leader of the B.C. Greens @emilylowan.bsky.social ) had an amazing time competing in the Bed Races on Friday night.

This is a huge loss for the SAR community, and BC. My condolences to Michael's family and friends. BC's extraordinary landscape presents unrivalled opportunities for adventure, but also potential danger. SAR volunteers are vital in keeping people safe & I cannot thank them enough for their service.

Legacy of service remembered following the death of Squamish's Michael Coyle

As wildfires grow, please take steps to make sure you and your community stay safe. By pre-registering for Emergency Support Services, you make it quicker and easier to get support during evacuations. This is critical to ensure you have access to basic necessities while under evacuation orders.

Today’s decision is another reminder that this BC NDP government is an LNG-dependent government. While Canadian wildfires make international headlines & British Columbians evacuate their homes, our governments choose to deepen the pockets of the fossil fuel industry. #bcpoli #greensky

Twin Creek Wildfire east of Lillooet Lake: An Evacuation Order has been issued by the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District for SLRD Electoral Area C. Areas north and south of this Evacuation ORDER continue to be on Evacuation ALERT. More information here: www.slrd.bc.ca/emergency-pr...

Great news! The potential danger to life and health due to the Place Glacier Outburst Flood has subsided. The Evacuation Order has been rescinded. Thank you to everyone who stayed away from the area for the last month, and thanks to the SLRD for carefully monitoring the situation. #pembertonbc

Pemberton is not completely out of the woods yet but I don't think it's too early to say a huge thank you for the heroic efforts of BC Wildfire Service and Pemberton Fire Rescue firefighters for holding the Signal Hill fire, and protecting the Village and surrounding inhabited areas. #pembertonbc

Flood waters from Place Glacier are now moving downstream through Place Creek. High flows are expected for the next 1-2 days. The Evacuation Order remains in effect for affected properties in the Gates Lake and Poole Creek area. The latest: www.slrd.bc.ca/inside-slrd/... #pembertonbc

Forced treatment is not a solution—it’s a political reaction. If someone is discharged back into homelessness, poverty, or the same circumstances that led them into crisis, what has actually changed? #bcpoli

It’s been over 10 years since the toxic drug crisis was declared and communities across this province are reeling from the unimaginable loss. With every life lost is a community grieving, and our hearts are with them.

I talked with CTV about Mark Carney and Danielle Smith’s proposed pipeline. Here’s what I had to say:

Thanks to CBC for having me on yesterday to talk about Sea to Sky Highway safety, following a fatal crash and long closure this weekend. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

The healthcare system we all deserve relies on nurses being treated fairly. Nurses have been put in unsafe working conditions, and now they’re being disrespected for asking for better. This is unacceptable. The right to strike is sacred. The BC Greens stand in solidarity with the BCNU.

A pipeline funded by…. you. This is a government pipeline with a mere 10% stake from private investment. And jobs? Last year 10k Albertan oil workers were laid off as production skyrocketed. Call it what it is — a handout for the dying fossil fuel industry.
