I was in Kitimat as LNG Canada and five First Nations signed a major equity option agreement: the opportunity to take majority ownership of the potential Phase 2 LNG storage tank, up to $1B. This shows what’s possible when Nations are true partners in projects that grow B.C.’s and Canada’s economy.🇨🇦

Today, we remember the 19 workers who lost their lives in the 1958 Second Narrows Bridge collapse. Their tragic loss, and the resilience of the families who have carried their memory forward, continue to strengthen our commitment to protecting workers + ensuring everyone returns home safely.

BC habitats impacted by wildfires will soon be reforested with new seedlings, shrubs, herbs and other native plants. Planting 125 million more trees helps support species at risk, builds resilience to climate change, and supports communities throughout the province.

Reforestation projects support wildfire recovery and habitat restoration

Across BC, renters are starting to see real relief:  • Asking rents are down 12.5% from 2023  • Vacancy rates are rising  • More options for renters, including ability to negotiate their rent • 26,000+ purpose-built rentals registered in 2025  Progress is underway, with more to do.

Today we officially named the Site C dam and generating station after John Horgan — a leader who brought resolve, pragmatism, and purpose to one of BC’s most important decisions. We also recognized Nááchę mege (“Dreamer Lake”), honouring First Nations culture and history in the Peace Region.

Amazing to pop into an 8th Crown Pathfinder Girl Guide meeting to discuss all things MLA, Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, and Parliamentary Secretary for Seniors' and Long-Term Care!

Wonderful to sit at the table with the City of Prince George. Communities like Prince George are ready to partner with the Province and Northern Health to address pressing health care challenges, particularly for seniors.

It was truly an honour to attend HMCS Discovery's Battle of the Atlantic Tribute Dinner. This evening was a powerful tribute to the sailors, merchant mariners, and aircrew who served with courage and sacrifice during the longest campaign of the Second World War (1939–1945).

Survivors of intimate partner and sexual violence should never feel silenced, disbelieved, or alone when they step forward to seek #justice. Yesterday, the BC Prosecution Service updated its policy about how victims of these crimes are crime are treated in our #legal system.
