Today marks an important step forward for crane operators in B.C. We're expanding Skilled Trades Certification to tower and mobile crane operators, recognizing their expertise, strengthening safety standards and helping build the skilled workforce our province needs. #LookWestBC #SkilledTrades

Child care is essential to economic growth – and to B.C. having the skilled workforce it needs to build critical infrastructure. Today’s new prosperity agreement reflects this priority, because we know that affordable child care is life changing for families across the province.

We’ve just signed a landmark, multi-billion-dollar agreement with the federal government that sets BC on a generational path to prosperity.   For too long, British Columbia hasn’t received our fair share. But today, that is changing.

Funding school food programs is another way we’re helping parents save money! 🍎🥪📚   Through B.C’s Feeding Futures fund and the National School Food Program, we're helping parents save money on groceries while making sure kids are fed at school.

Nothing makes a schoolyard feel more alive than the sound of kids playing. 🛝💙 I’m so excited that Blueridge Elementary is receiving $200,000 in Provincial funding for a new accessible playground, the latest investment in safer, more inclusive play spaces for kids here in North Vancouver.

Nearly 900 new child care spaces have opened in 17 communities across BC so far this year, with another 12,000 in development. Provincial funding is now available to help school districts create child care on school grounds where suitable space is available. News.gov.bc.ca/33737

Busy mornings & afternoons are easier with child care close to home. 🚧 We’re creating a new program to help school districts create before & after school care in existing spaces, meaning more spots, less stress, and stronger communities across #BC https://news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2026ECC0018-000529

There’s some very exciting business happening across B.C. right now… and yes, it involves monkey bars, swings, and a lot of future games of tag. 🛝🎉 We’re investing in 25 new accessible school playgrounds across the province so more kids can play, explore, imagine, and grow together.

More kids will have access to child care right where they already are thanks to new provincial funding for before-and after-school care on school grounds! 🎉 @jodiewickens.bsky.social

Happy Child Care Provider Appreciation Day! 🎉   Today we celebrate child care providers for the vital role they play in supporting thousands of children and families across our province. #childcarebc #childcaremonth #childcare #bcpoli

This Emergency Preparedness Week I encourage everyone in BC to take action to prepare themselves and their families. The best time to prevent the worst of an emergency is before one happens. Taking small steps today can have a large impact tomorrow. 👉 news.gov.bc.ca/33701

Happy Child Care Month BC! 🎉 I’d like to recognize and thank the incredibly hardworking people who are at the heart of our child care system, and celebrate the important role child care plays in our lives, our communities, and our economy. #childcarebc #childcaremonth

The Legislature felt a bit more like home last week! I love when students from Coquitlam visit Victoria. On Friday, Mr. Seah and the Pinetree Secondary Band 🎶came to perform outside the Legislature. I was grateful to be able to say hi and answer some questions about what life is like as a Minister.

Moody Elementary is now open in #PortMoody!🏗️ This seismic replacement and expansion brings safer classrooms, more student spaces, and on site child care, making pick-ups & drop-offs easier for families & helping kids thrive every day. https://news.gov.bc.ca/33653

This evening, Jewish people around the world will light candles and remember those murdered in the Holocaust. Yom HaShoah calls on everyone to remember and reflect. We honour the six million people killed by the Nazis in a systematic attempt to annihilate Jewish people. (1/10)

Honoured to be at the Nanaimo - Ladysmith Schools Foundation donors event. As a former scholarship recipient, I’ve seen what happens when a community invests in young people. The return isn’t measured in dollars, it’s measured in lives changed, futures built, and stronger communities. #Nanaimo

A great way to celebrate #educationweek 🎓! A big thanks to @bcsta.bsky.social for your welcome - and to everyone in attendance for your ongoing commitment to lifting up the next generation! I am excited about what we will continue to build together in B.C.! ✏️📚

More space, more opportunities for #Ladysmith learners 💛🏫 A seismic replacement at Ladysmith Intermediate and a 250 seat expansion at Ladysmith Primary will support families in the region for years to come. https://news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2026INF0024-000382

Our kids deserve the best in this province. That’s why we’re building and upgrading schools across BC. In the Okanagan alone, we’ve built seats for 4400 students. We’re going to continue our work so that kids in BC have a high quality place to learn.

Happy Easter!

For Christians, today is the holiest day on the calendar, marking the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

People of all walks of life are coming together with friends and family to eat good food with good company. And of course, with lots of chocolate eggs for the kids.

Recently visited Hopcott Farms in Pitt Meadows, a multi-generational family operation. From cranberry fields to the butcher shop, it’s a great opportunity to shop local. When we #BuyBC, we get fresh products, support our neighbours and strengthen our local economy.

Today, we celebrate the achievements of transgender, Two-Spirit and non-binary people. Today is also a reminder that not everyone is free to live their lives safely. Many still face hate and discrimination, and struggle to access the life-saving health care and supports. (1/3)
