Member of the Legislative Assembly for Oak Bay - Gordon Head, and BC Minister of Citizens' Services. A better future is possible. #bcpoli
Had a great meeting with members from the Federation of Post Secondary Educators. Thank you for your continued advocacy for your students and your faculty.

I'm so proud to have both Camosun and UVic in my riding, and am looking forward to see how our schools will continue shape the future of B.C.

Three years ago today, I was sworn in as the Premier of this beautiful province. We have important work ahead, and we’ve already achieved so much, causing Canada to Look West for jobs and prosperity. Let’s get big things done!

To every child and young person in Canada: Your rights matter. Your voice matters. Your leadership matters.

I’m proud to stand with young leaders and UNICEF Canada to make sure their voices shape the decisions that affect them.

This could threaten thousands of long-term renters and encourage bad faith evictions before next year’s FIFA World Cup.
 
Rents are down 10% partly because of these STR rules, but the BC Conservatives are trying to weaken and support repealing them entirely.
 
We won't let them.

Here's a good reminder of what pay inequality looks like! Pay inequality means women 'work for free' until year's end, European Commission says | Euronews share.google/WM0w7P5a5muA... #genderequity #canpoli
Women now 'work for free' until year's end, EU Commission says
Women in the EU only earn €0.88 on average for every euro a man makes, meaning that they will symbolically start “working for free” from 17 November until the end of the year, according to the EU.

Last week, I met with tech innovators and changemakers to learn how they are creating growth in BC. Had great discussions at SFU Venture Labs on data sovereignty & responsible AI use and being the keynote speaker at Women In Tech, I met incredible female entrepreneurs bringing Canada into the future

Over 100,000 skilled trades jobs are coming to BC in the next decade. To get ready, we’re doubling our investment in trades training. That means more seats, more apprenticeships, and more opportunities for British Columbians.

Because we know education and skilled trades matter...our government is making the first major increase in skilled-trades training in nearly two decades.

Say goodbye to doctors’ sick notes! Effective immediately, employers can only ask for sick notes in limited cases, giving health-care providers more time for patients, not paperwork. 🙌🏼 And we’re not done… more work is underway to cut admin burden for doctors. ✍🏽

The work that makes the biggest difference often happens face-to-face. Last week, provincial and First Nations leaders—and youth—came together at the 10th First Nations Leaders' Gathering to share ideas and strengthen relationships. #FNLG #Reconciliation

Today, we honour the fallen and reflect on the cost of war.

We salute the bravery of those who served and the sacrifices of their families.

As we remember, we also honour those who continue to serve today, preserving peace and security.

Lest we forget.

Doctors, nurse practitioners, and health professionals from around the world are choosing BC—and patients are getting connected.

Our recruitment campaign's working. Since March:
• 2,950+ interested
• 1,400+ applied
• 140+ hired, on their way, or already here

Take a look at what people are saying.

Today, we honour generations of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Peoples who have served with courage.

From the War of 1812 to Afghanistan, Indigenous veterans shaped Canada’s military history—yet many returned to discrimination.

Lest we forget.

Protecting our coast is not a barrier to economic prosperity – it is the source of it.

That’s why we’ve partnered with Coastal First Nations to sign the North Coast Protection Declaration and call on the federal government stand firm in its commitment to uphold the tanker ban.
