Grateful to @SquamishNatCouncil.bsky.social for hosting my campaign signs on their community lands. It's been an honour to serve as MLA for nation members living in Eslha7an and X̱wemelch'stn, and I look forward to continuing to strengthen this relationship, whatever the month ahead brings. 🙌

I'm running for my kids and for families in #NorthVan. We've made progress, but there's still more to do — especially with the escalating trade war threatening our province. I believe in our community and will keep fighting for you every day. Volunteer: volunteer.bcndp.ca/NVL

Surrey is growing fast, & people who rely on Surrey Memorial deserve care that keeps up. That’s why we’re investing over $33M to help people get emergency care & medical imaging quicker & closer to home including a new triage team, & 2 new CT scanners.

Former Premier Dave Barrett was a leader who fought for ordinary people and believed deeply in building a fairer, more connected province. Honouring his legacy by naming the Surrey Langley SkyTrain project the Dave Barrett Extension feels incredibly fitting. 🚆

Regional Hospital Districts know their communities inside and out, and their partnership is essential to delivering healthcare projects across B.C. I had a really meaningful conversation with RHD leaders at UBCM where we talked about the progress we’ve made together and the work still ahead.

We've declared a provincewide State of Provincial Emergency as the new, fast-moving Bald Range wildfire forces thousands of people from their homes in the Summerland area.   At every step, we're focused on ensuring that emergency crews have the tools they need to protect people and communities.

New involuntary care beds are coming to Surrey and Prince George. Every person struggling with severe mental illness and addiction is someone’s child, parent, sibling, or friend. These facilities mean real care and a path to recovery — not the street. No one should be left behind.

It's a milestone. It means BC politics has evolved enough to offer hope that women need not choose between serving their province and starting or growing their family, and that's good for the representation of women and families in our democracy. www.nsnews.com/local-news/n...
