Appreciate getting to spend time with our team at the Burnaby DLO today! This space makes it easy for people to get new IDs & license renewals done, while also providing accessible services for those taking a driving test. Grateful for @theicbc.bsky.social’s work to keep everyone safe on our roads.

Unacceptable! X is fighting a BC order to remove a non-consensual intimate image, instead of doing the right thing & removing the image. These harmful images have no place online, anywhere, ever. We’re joining the case to defend BC’s laws & ensure survivors receive real protection, not half measures

Whether helping inform our anti-racism work, providing a safety net for vulnerable people or building connections through volunteering - S.U.C.C.E.S.S. makes a real difference. Grateful for their insights & knowledge that supports services in our communities for newcomers, seniors, families & youth.

Today at 11:11 AM, communities across BC pause to remember the people who served and sacrificed. Their stories are woven into the places we live, the values we uphold, and the history we share. Their courage continues to inspire us. Lest we forget. (1/5)

Change in action! My hands up to all those helping the system be safer for victims of intimate partner violence. www.castanet.net/news/Kelowna...

Today, we honour generations of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Peoples who have served with courage. From the War of 1812 to Afghanistan, Indigenous veterans shaped Canada’s military history—yet many returned to discrimination. Lest we forget.

Three people tied to violent extortion have been removed from Canada. Offenders will be pursued, arrested, charged, and may be deported. Thanks to CBSA, RCMP, CFSEU, & local police in the B.C. Extortion Task Force. We won't stop until these criminals are brought to justice.

The Early Resolution Process is now available at Provincial Courts in North Vancouver, Pemberton, Richmond, Sechelt, & Vancouver Robson Square. This service helps families resolve issues like child & spousal support without going to court, reducing conflict & putting children’s best interests first.

Thank you to all the #FirstNations leaders who took the time to meet during #FNLG2025. I appreciate every meeting this week, hearing exactly what we can do together to advance #reconciliation efforts in communities across BC. I appreciate the insights & collaboration as we do this important work.

Today, Sikh communities in BC and around the world celebrate the 556th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. His teachings of equality, compassion and service continue to inspire. Happy Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s Gurpurab to all who celebrate! (1/2)

ਅੱਜ, ਬੀ.ਸੀ. ਅਤੇ ਦੁਨੀਆ ਭਰ ਵਿੱਚ ਸਿੱਖ ਭਾਈਚਾਰੇ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਨਾਨਕ ਦੇਵ ਜੀ ਦਾ 556ਵਾਂ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਸ਼ ਪੁਰਬ ਮਨਾ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ। ਸਮਾਨਤਾ, ਹਮਦਰਦੀ ਅਤੇ ਸੇਵਾ ਬਾਰੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਸਿੱਖਿਆਵਾਂ ਅੱਜ ਵੀ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਪ੍ਰੇਰਿਤ ਕਰ ਰਹੀਆਂ ਹਨ। ਸ੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਨਾਨਕ ਦੇਵ ਜੀ ਦੇ ਗੁਰਪੁਰਬ ਦੀਆਂ ਲੱਖ ਲੱਖ ਵਧਾਈਆਂ! (2/2)

We are welcoming two new judges to B.C.’s Provincial Court: Diba Majzub and Megan Olson. Their appointments strengthen our commitment to timely and efficient access to justice. Learn more: news.gov.bc.ca/32986

Thank you to Attorney General Niki Sharma (@nikisharma.bsky.social) for taking the time today to meet with MoveUP President Annette Toth and Vice-President Dimitri Ossinsky to discuss a wide range of important issues related to our members.

It’s spooky season! 🎃👻 We want everyone to keep safety top of mind while you’re out having fun tonight. Over 200 people are injured in crashes on #Halloween every year. #ICBC has put together these safety tips to make sure you and your loved ones get home safe and sound! #HappyHalloween

This session we tabled our Vaping Product Damages & Health Care Costs Recovery Act. We’ve done this before - taking on the bad-faith actors - & we’ll continue to lead the way in protecting children & families while making corporate wrongdoers take accountability & pay for the public harms they cause

#ICYMI - we’re keeping basic auto insurance rates basic rates stable through to spring 2027. That means seven consecutive years without an increase! On average, BC drivers are paying about $700 less than what people pay for auto insurance in Ontario, and about $440 less than what Albertans pay.

This afternoon the Intimate Images Protection Statutes Amendment Act received royal assent and was passed into law in BC. Proud of what this legislation will do to strengthen protections and supports for victims of sexual violence.

🎃 The streets are buzzing, joy in the air, trick-or-treaters everywhere, so please take care. Drive slowly, stay alert, & plan ahead, so every ghoul & ghost gets safely to bed. Whether you're behind the wheel or out walking, let's keep the scares on the doorstep - not on our roads 🚗

A powerful day yesterday as we gathered with the Japanese Canadian Legacies Society, First Nations partners, and @nikisharma.bsky.social for a blessing on the future site of the monument park that will honour Japanese Canadians who were forcibly displaced, dispossessed, and interned during WW2.

Thank you Amelia and Misty for sharing your story of what the real life impacts are for victims and their families when intimate images are shared without consent. Regardless what side of the aisle we sit on, this is a non-partisan issue, and victims should always be put first.

BC Gov was the first to announce that we’d appeal the decision of Cowichan Tribes v. AG Canada et al. We strongly disagree with the court’s treatment of private property, but even as this case continues, we know lasting solutions are found through dialogue & collaboration with First Nations partners

Here, like across Canada, people are concerned about the cost of living. Happy to announce that for 7 years in a row, basic auto insurance rates in BC will not increase. As of July 2024, #ICBC customers pay auto insurance rates $702 lower than rates in Ontario & $440 lower than what Albertans pay.

Last week, the federal gov announced proposed changes to the Criminal Code: •Reverse-onus bail in high-risk cases •Stronger consequences for repeat violent offenders •Better protections for victims of intimate-partner & gender-based violence •New tools to address extortion & serious repeat offences

Today’s announcement from the federal government is a major step forward in strengthening public safety across Canada — and we’re proud that British Columbia’s advocacy helped shape it. @ninakrieger.bsky.social

Congratulations to our team of lawyers for this decision against an attempted class action against public health orders and Dr. Bonnie Henry. @josieosborne.bsky.social

Happy Diwali 🪔 What Diwali meant in my home:

Do you have a Will? Wills provide piece of mind and certainty in helping you protect what matters most in your life. Learn more about wills and estate planning by visiting: www.bcnotaryassociation.ca Thank you to the BC Notaries Association for serving your communities so well.

Homes across BC and millions around the world will be lit up as family and friends gather to celebrate the triumph of light over darkness and justice over injustice. Happy Diwali and Bandi Chhor Divas to everyone celebrating! (1/3)

बी.सी. और दुनिया भर में लाखों घर रौशन होंगे, जब परिवार और दोस्त अंधकार पर प्रकाश और अन्याय पर न्याय की जीत का जश्न मनाने के लिए एकत्रित होंगे। दिवाली और बंदी छोड़ दिवस मना रहे सभी लोगों को शुभकामनाएं! (2/3)

ਬੀ.ਸੀ. ਅਤੇ ਦੁਨੀਆ ਭਰ ਵਿੱਚ ਲੱਖਾਂ ਘਰ ਰੌਸ਼ਨ ਹੋਣਗੇ, ਜਦੋਂ ਪਰਿਵਾਰ ਅਤੇ ਦੋਸਤ ਹਨੇਰੇ ਉੱਤੇ ਰੌਸ਼ਨੀ ਅਤੇ ਅਨਿਆਂ ਉੱਤੇ ਨਿਆਂ ਦੀ ਜਿੱਤ ਦਾ ਜਸ਼ਨ ਮਨਾਉਣ ਲਈ ਇਕੱਠੇ ਹੋਣਗੇ। ਦਿਵਾਲੀ ਅਤੇ ਬੰਦੀ ਛੋੜ ਦਿਵਸ ਮਨਾ ਰਹੇ ਸਾਰੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਸ਼ੁਭਕਾਮਨਾਵਾਂ! (3/3)

Deep in discussions here in AB about the new federal bail reform bill being introduced next week. This bill shows a strong commitment to reforms we want: stronger bail & sentencing laws, & greater protections for victims of gender-based violence. Also spoke with press in BC using a makeshift tripod!

Congratulations to the 28 new #sheriffs who have completed their training and will soon begin serving communities across BC. Sheriffs play a vital role keeping our courthouses safe and our #justice system running smoothly. Learn more: news.gov.bc.ca/releases/202...

In Alberta this week with @ninakrieger.bsky.social to push for meaningful reforms to ensure our community safety & people have better access to justice. We’re asking the federal government to strengthen laws to respond to intimate partner violence & addressing bail & sentencing for repeat offenders

Last call for local organizations to apply for up to $5,000 in provincial grants to support projects that fight racism & promote multicultural understanding! Proud to support so many wonderful groups working to make BC stronger & more inclusive. Deadline to apply: Oct 14, 2025 news.gov.bc.ca/32759

Kicking off another session here in Victoria by setting a new record for the amount of legislation introduced by one Minister in a single week! Our government is committed to making the lives of British Columbians better every single day, and each of the bills introduced does just that.

We’re taking action to protect people’s credit by: ✅Free monthly access to a credit report & score ✅Access to credit freezes & alerts at any time to prevent fraud ✅Faster removal of inaccurate credit information on credit reports ✅New rules to protect against misleading claims from repair agencies

Seven people have now been charged in connection with the ongoing crackdown on extortion-related crimes - a major step forward in these investigations. These charges send a message: those targeting families and businesses with violence and intimidation will face consequences.

For too long, vape & e-cigarette manufacturers have used deceptive marketing to maximize profits at the expense of people’s health. Today’s announcement on our first-of-its-kind legislation will make it possible for us to take legal action against bad-faith actors to recover public health costs.

Honoured to celebrate the first #KoreanHeritageMonth in BC, a milestone that celebrates social, cultural & civic contributions of Korean Canadians. From festivals & art to leadership & innovation, Korean heritage enriches our communities in countless ways. Let’s celebrate, learn & uplift one another

We are building BC with the #infrastructure people need like homes, hospitals, and schools. Our construction industry is vital. #Business and #workers are not getting paid on time or at all - this isn’t just a financial issue, it’s a fairness issue. @bowinnma.bsky.social

Wishing everyone celebrating the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival a joyful and meaningful holiday. Whether you're sharing mooncakes, lighting lanterns, or spending time with loved ones, may this season bring peace, gratitude, and connection🏮

It is time we shift the blame from the victim to the perpetrators of sexual violence. With my recommendation to to set the new ceiling at $75,000 - 14 times higher than the current limit - our government is creating new ways for victims to get the justice they deserve for the harms they’ve endured.

October is #IslamicHeritageMonth celebrating the history, traditions & contributions of Muslim communities. From art & literature to education & entrepreneurship, Muslim Canadians enrich every part of life in BC. Let’s take this opportunity to learn, connect & stand together against Islamophobia 🌙🕌

Wishing everyone celebrating Dussehra a joyful and meaningful festival. May this celebration of courage and renewal bring peace, unity, and sweet moments with loved ones. 🌸🪔 #Dussehra

Wishing everyone observing peace, renewal, and a meaningful fast this Yom Kippur.

הערב, עם שקיעת החמה, יציינו קהילות יהודיות את יום הכיפורים - היום הקדוש ביותר בלוח השנה היהודי.    זהו יום של חשבון נפש והתבוננות, המצוין בצום, בתפילה ובבקשת מחילה.    לכל המציינים יום קדוש זה, צום קל וגמר חתימה טובה.  (2/2)

Sat down with Minister Sean Fraser to discuss public safety including needed bail reform, hate crime laws and intimate partner violence. Everyone deserves to feel safe in their communities and we will continue to push for reforms to ensure respect for the law. @seanfraser.bsky.social

Thank you to all the local government representatives who took the time to meet with me this week at #UBCM2025! Your passion and advocacy for your communities is clear. I look forward to continuing this work with my local government colleagues to ensure people across BC feel safe and supported.

Getting a driver’s licence is an important part of life for many people. #Indigenous customers can call ICBC’s dedicated support phone line at 1-844-978-8307 to connect culturally sensitive staff. Through new services - we are ensuring that everyone is supported when needing #ICBC services.

My message to all British Columbians on Quebec’s Bill 21. We will always fight to advance equity for all - no matter your skin colour, culture, or faith.
