Kelly Greene @kellyrichmondbc.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Glad to visit Summerland earlier this week. During wildfire response, we had asked people to visit other areas in BC or reschedule to give room for first responders and evacuees, and we are thankful to everyone who did so. But now, it’s time to come back!

Kelly Greene @kellyrichmondbc.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

This long weekend marks the unofficial end of summer, as students prepare to return to school. Wildfire season isn't over yet, so check fire restrictions, watch for smoke and plan your route before heading out. Enjoy it safely. 👉 news.gov.bc.ca/34239

Kelly Greene @kellyrichmondbc.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

In an emergency, it takes everyone pulling together. That’s exactly what Summerland did. They’ve shown grit and compassion as they came together, from the initial response, to taking care of people that have been evacuated from their home, to now starting the process of recovery.

Kelly Greene @kellyrichmondbc.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

It’s an honour to meet with the Summerland Fire Department to thank them in person for their incredible work. During this very difficult time, we’ve seen how their courage, professionalism and commitment have made a difference. And we’re so grateful.

It was a pleasure to visit Surrey this week to see emergency preparedness in action. People, farms, and businesses will be better protected from periods of high water with the completion of flood mitigation and diking enhancements.

It was great to connect with mayors from the West Coast Corridor Resiliency Partnership and hear, first hand, about the important work they’re doing on the ground to strengthen communities and prepare for whatever comes next. 2/2
