It was a special BC NDP convention - Dave’s first and my first as an MLA! Spending time with New Democrats from all over the province was amazing!

Forever grateful for all of the support from our Coquitlam’s-Maillardville crew! 🧡

We want people to have the supports they need to live with dignity and independence. So we’re making a change for couples who both receive disability assistance.

From my home in Coquitlam and all the way across the world, people honoured the fallen and reflected on the terrible cost of war.

I stopped by the Shoppers Drug Mart in Como Lake Village for my Flu and COVID-19 vaccines and had the opportunity to learn more about the vital work pharmacist do every day.

Over the past eight years, BC and First Nations have done a tremendous amount of work with the federal government, local governments, businesses, and others to advance reconciliation.

A disappointing end but they sure did Canada proud. 11 innings in game 7, they were one swing away from victory. Next Year!

Only a few days left to hear from you on proposed changes to improve natural resource permitting to remove delays, simplify processes and eliminate duplication.

Consultations close for the first six on October 17th, so we’d love your feedback and suggestions.
