Before the day fully begins and eager eyes spring open—Merry Christmas, British Columbia, to everyone celebrating today.

We’re going to sign off for a few days, but before we do, we want to wish you and yours a warm holiday season. However you celebrate — and wherever you find joy — we hope you get some time with the people you love. Merry Christmas and happy holidays.

Today is the shortest day of the year. Starting tomorrow, little by little, the light returns. Happy Solstice, everyone.

Because when we invest in students, we invest in our future.

If you’ve felt squeezed this year, you’re not alone. Here’s what we worked on in 2025 to help working people in BC: www.bcndp.ca/latest/how-o...

Workers in the skilled trades make good, family-supporting wages, and help build BC. Thanks to all of the apprentices of today, training to be the workers of tomorrow!

When rental housing supply increases, asking prices decrease. We're thrilled to see more renters be able to find homes in the communities they love, at prices they can more easily afford.

Coming to Langford and the westshore - a brand new 2,000 seat secondary school!

Your private images should stay private. But if they don't, we're making sure help is there for you.

On Dec 6, 1989 14 women at l'École Polytechnique de Montréal were murdered because of their gender. Today we mourn their loss & recognize our responsibility to stand up against misogyny, sexism, and hate. Join us.

A new deal for workers means better care for long-term care residents. Over the next two years, we're bringing 5,000 unionized jobs into one provincewide agreement, along with higher wages and better benefits.

Since 2006, BC's Civil Forfeiture office has granted more than $93 million back to British Columbians. Because tackling organized crime must include making sure it doesn't happen again.

Need a charge? BC Hydro's new pilot project uses electric school buses to store enough clean energy to power dozens of homes during peak times or emergencies. That means more reliable power for families, and less dependence on diesel.

OneBC's anti-indigenous rhetoric is racist. Full stop. We abhor it, we reject it, & we’ll continue working in true partnerships with First Nations to deliver jobs, certainty & prosperity for all British Columbians.

That pipeline from yesterday? It has: ❌ No proponent ❌ No route ❌ No money ❌ No First Nation support We’re staying focused on real projects that will create thousands of jobs and bring prosperity to Canada.

Bills to ban Pride flags, land acknowledgements or 'DEI' are designed to do one thing: divide British Columbians. We'll always vote against them, but it's time for John Rustad to answer: if he can't keep his MLAs from voting for these bills, what makes him think he can lead BC?

Thank you to the more than 800 New Democrats who joined us this weekend for Convention 2025! We're so grateful for your energy, your hard work, and the values you bring to our movement. Together we can keep fighting for people and building a stronger, more resilient BC.

Since 2018. our BC NDP govt has funded new playgrounds at more than 300 schools across the province - with at least one playground in every single school district. Because being a kid should be fun.

On Oct 19, 2024, you helped us form an historic 3rd majority govt + bring 18 brand-new BC NDP MLAs to the legislature to fight for people. On the 1st anniversary of this win, we're celebrating by re-introducing you to these remarkable New Democrats. Take a look! www.bcndp.ca/latest/our-e...

A decade ago, MLAs voted unanimously to protect gender identity in BC's Human Rights Code. The MLAs from OneBC & the BC Conservatives should be ashamed of themselves for how they voted last week. Kids, regardless of gender identity, deserve support and protection.

More training for more doctors, right here at home. It's about time.

As British Columbians we love our coast and will always protect it. We won’t let this proposal, with no backer and no money, threaten real jobs for BC’s families.

Like a bad penny, ARPA's policies keep showing up in the BC legislature. We're standing against them — and we always will.

We're so grateful to see real progress being made taking down people using violence, extortion and intimidation to harass people in our communities. Everyone deserves to feel safe.

We're helping train our province's next generation of medical doctors at BC's second medical school. Apply today to join the first class of students starting in Fall 2026.

Our new legislation paves the way for a possible class action lawsuit against vape manufacturers for the harm they cause to public health.

Last week our BC NDP govt introduced legislation to make it easier for school districts to offer child care on school grounds, including: 🧡 More licensed child care spaces 🧡 More care options for children ages 0–5 🧡 Access to child care on non-instructional days

Why is Alberta suddenly demanding a heavy oil pipeline to BC's North Coast? Here's a hint: It's fictional, it's political, and it's not going to happen.

This Thanksgiving we're grateful to live in a place where we can grow and enjoy some of the best produce in the world. What are you thankful for?

Today and everyday, we're thankful for this beautiful place and for all of you. Happy Thanksgiving, British Columbia.

Our BC NDP govt made it easier for gig workers to organize their workplace — and it's making a really big difference. Read more: pressprogress.ca/british-colu...

When the last government was in charge, they built only 130 units of student housing. Since 2018, we've opened 6,100 new student beds, with 4,600 more on the way. Share to support more affordable student homes in BC!

We're working hard to make life better for workers and their families. There's always more to do, but here are nine ways we've delivered real results so far.

On Labour Day — a holiday earned with the sweat, tears, hard work (and even blood) of working people around the world, we're proud to stand up for fairness, security and opportunity for every worker in this province we love. Happy Labour Day!

Faster, safer care for complex needs that's closer to home - opening today in Nanaimo.

Coming super soon to a classroom in BC's fastest growing city: hundreds (and then thousands) of more seats for more students.

Under the previous government, landlords could raise rent an extra 2% on top of inflation, every year. We think renters deserve predictability, not punishing annual increases. Do you agree?

Since birth control became free in 2023, IUD prescriptions soared nearly 50% — a clear sign that when cost barriers fall, autonomy rises. 💥

It's hot out there! Stay hydrated, stay cool and check on your neighbours if you're able.
