The White Rock Pier is an iconic B.C. destination and economic driver. MP Klassen and the community have been working to restore and preserve it.
So, we’re investing to revitalise the pier in Budget 2025 — with more local infrastructure projects across Canada that will build communities strong.

Alto: We did not wait for the province to set targets. Our targets were more aggressive than theirs, but it's because we didn't wait, made decisions long ago, and invested resources to make it happen. Need to continue doing that.

A year after Peter Mieras accidentally recorded a humpback whale feeding on a bait ball beside his dock another humpback paid a close visit.
“Crazy!” Rainy Bay couple gets second humpback whale encounter
Any Saturday in Barkley Sound is spectacular but add a close up whale encounter beside your own dock and it doesn't get any better. That's what happened to Peter Mieras and his wife Kathy Johnson Nov. 8. And it's their second humpback whale tale in exactly a year. Watch below: "We were sitting inside looking out the window and saw something in the water so I went out and as I come down the ramp the whale becomes visible and I go like oh my gosh this is a whale," Mieras told CHEK News.

Here’s my humble pitch: we stop calling Vancouver’s housing market a “slowdown” or “slump”, implying that it was a great time before.
And instead, consider that after three years of similar numbers, acknowledge a new reality that everyone should adjust to.
