Today, we pause to remember the brave men and women who served and sacrificed so we could live in peace and freedom. Their courage reminds us that the cost of war is never forgotten — and that peace is always worth protecting. Lest we forget. #canadaremembers #RemembranceDay

Kelly Fehr’s Oct 27 - Nov 9, 2025 #VernonBC Council Report Highlights include meetings and events with Ustaad G 76 & @harwindersandhu.bsky.social Read more in the newsletter here kellyfehr.org/latest-news/...

Health-care workers want to be part of a system where their skills are valued, science is respected and their focus is on providing care. Last week I got to meet with three fantastic nurses from the US who made the move to #Nanaimo

Our country is facing an existential moment. The only path forward for Canada — and British Columbia — is in true partnership with First Nations. Full stop.

Thank you to Vantage Point for meeting us at the @bclegislature.bsky.social to discuss the non-profit sector’s strengths, challenges & how we can continue working together to build a more resilient non-profit community. @georgechow.bsky.social @harwindersandhu.bsky.social @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social

Thank you to all the foster parents across British Columbia 🙏 Your kindness, stability, and care make a world of difference for children and youth who need a safe and supportive place to call home. Because of you, young people have the chance to heal, grow, and thrive. #BCpoli #BCndp

🧑‍⚕️ Thank you to the BC Nurses’ Union for meeting with us MLAs It was encouraging to hear that minimum nurse-to-patient ratios are already being implemented so every nurse can provide patients with the care they deserve. @harwindersandhu.bsky.social @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social

Just another day at the Legislature — keeping things light before we bite into serious work 🦇 @davidebybc.bsky.social @brittnyanderson.bsky.social #halloween #bcndp

ICBC has tips to help keep everyone safe this Halloween: www.icbc.com/about-icbc/n... Let’s make Halloween safe and memorable for everyone 👻

British Columbians continue to benefit from some of the most affordable auto insurance in Canada! ICBC rates will stay frozen until spring 2027 — 7 yrs of stability & savings. Enhanced Care has lowered costs by 15%, saving drivers about $496 a year while improving care and recovery benefits. #bcpoli

On BC Farmers Day we honour the hands and hearts that feed B.C. — our farmers, ranchers, growers, and producers. From dawn to dusk, your dedication keeps our land, families, and economy thriving. Farming isn’t just work, it’s a way of life built on perseverance, hope, and love for the land. #bcndp

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

📚By working with the BC Federation of Students, we’ve made significant progress in improving access, affordability & safety on campus. Thanks to this group for championing the voices of 14 student societies across BC. @harwindersandhu.bsky.social @mlajroutledge.bsky.social @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social

Being impacted by a disaster event is extremely difficult for communities. Our priority is keeping people, businesses, and properties safe during emergencies. We've launched a new resource to help businesses & communities prepare for and recover from disaster events. www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/...

It’s important for us to speak directly to Americans looking to build home or renovate. How much this work costs is going up – because Donald Trump has slapped additional tariffs on top of already unfair softwood duties. We didn’t do it, so we shouldn’t wear it.

Thank you @dianagibson.bsky.social for your support & advocacy on behalf of nurses, and to your mom for her service to healthcare system! Feel grateful to have you as my colleague 💕🧡

Thank you @keliwestgate.bsky.social for your kind words, I was thrilled to see you and your husband today, celebrating beloved local business’s success. It’s an honor to represent wonderful people of our community🙏🏽

A new chapter for healthcare in B.C. 🌿 The first new medical school in Western Canada in 60 years is opening at SFU Surrey! 🎓 More spaces for future doctors, better access to care, and a healthier future for everyone. 🔗 mailchi.mp/leg/training... #bcpoli #bcgov #bcndp

Ten years ago, every MLA stood together to protect gender identity in B.C.’s Human Rights Code. Last week, that unity broke. I stand with @nikisharma.bsky.social and our #BCNDP team — because every person deserves safety, dignity, and respect, exactly as they are. 🧡🏳️‍⚧️ #bcpoli #humanrights

This Thanksgiving, I’m especially grateful for our community 🧡 for the farmers, neighbours, and volunteers who care for one another in so many ways. May your day be filled with warmth, gratitude, and time spent with those who make life brighter. 🍂 🥧 Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

BC will drive the Canadian economy at a time when it's under attack by Trump and those who echo his message here. If Canada wants to grow its economy, the answer is simple: look west to British Columbia. That's where we're building a path to prosperity for all Canadians.🍁

Congratulations to the Upper Room Mission on the opening of the 24-bed winter shelter space! This means 10,000 safe nights of sleep each year for those in our community who need it most. My heart is full seeing the kindness and generosity in our community 🧡 #BCpoli #BCNDP

This week, our gov't introduced new laws to: 📸 Strengthen protections for victims of intimate image abuse 🚭 Hold vape manufacturers accountable for health harms 🎓 Improve safety and prevention of sexual violence at BC campuses Read more here: mailchi.mp/leg/making-y... #BCpoli #BCgov #BCNDP

We know communities are feeling the impact of global economic uncertainty and big challenges. Despite these pressures, B.C.'s economy remains resilient. In Sept: ✅Employment up 7,800 ✅48,600 jobs gained yr/yr ✅25,000 private sector jobs, leading all provinces #BCJobs 1/2

Access to stigma free food programs is a priority for our govt. Thanks to B.C.’s Feeding Futures Program, 90% of schools offer meals and snacks. We welcome the news from the PM about the #NSFP and look forward to working together to ensure our schools are adequately supported. #bced

Let’s be clear about what Alberta is proposing: BC loses billions of dollars of major projects from private investors. AND Canadian taxpayers are forced to pay billions more because there is no interest from a private company. That’s not fair. And fairness is a Canadian value.

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.

BC has billions in shovel-ready projects ready to go. Instead of real jobs for our province, the BC Conservatives are standing up for themselves, infighting and Alberta politics. We’ll continue to ignore the noise and deliver for this province and country.

Proud to stand with those defending equality and reproductive rights. Every person deserves the freedom to make their own choices about their body, their family, and their future, free from political or religious interference. We can’t go backward. Not now, not ever. #BCNDP #BCpoli #humanrights

BC is leading 🇨🇦 with major opportunities to deliver prosperity to all of Canada. We have billions worth of private sector & First Nations led projects, that are ready to go and will create thousands of jobs. Alberta’s fictional bitumen pipeline achieves none of these things.

Fantastic News for our farmers here in the #Okanagan #Vernon 🍒

As British Columbians we love our coast and will always protect it. The North Coast Tanker Ban also secures billions in shovel-ready projects. We won’t let this proposal, with no backer and no money, threaten real jobs for BC’s families.

Tomorrow is #OrangeShirtDay Our government will continue to work to address the colonial systems still in place that harm Indigenous Peoples. We must honour survivors while remembering the children who never made it home. #NDTR #everychildmatters

✨ An amazing evening at the 18th annual East Meets West Diwali Gala in Kelowna. Mohini Singh & team have turned this festival into a fundraiser bringing hope to kids locally & around the world. 🧡 #Diwali symbolizes love over hate, light over darkness, good over evil & knowledge over ignorance. 🪔

Premier Eby & I are proud to wear this year’s Orange Shirt by OKIB artist Faith Yow, supporting the 2025 Indigenous Learning Tour 🧡 Proceeds help more people engage with Indigenous cultures and the true history of Canada. Take the tour & grab your shirt here: www.vdicss.org/ilt-2025 #NDTR #BCNDP

Happy World Contraception Day! Your BC government is proud to have made contraception free. #worldcontraceptionday #mlajennb #coquitlam #freecontraception #genderequity #sexualhealth #reproductivehealth

More great health care news! We’re recruiting more nurses, doctors & specialists from the U.S. to join teams here in B.C., reducing wait times & strengthening care in our communities. Welcome to those choosing B.C. as home! #BCpoli #BcNDP @josieosborne.bsky.social 604now.com/b-c-just-hir...

BC's got game! There are over 140 video game companies in BC, and our video games industry directly employs more than 14,000 people. Increased tax credits and new grants for emerging studios are levelling up our tech sector.   What would you add to this list? #BCCreates #PlayBC

My message at NYC Climate Week: Look to BC! Our clean energy means we can produce the lowest carbon energy products anywhere in the world. While clean tech is chased out of other places, they are welcomed in BC. We are ready to do this work while bringing prosperity to BC and Canada.

Today I'm in Kananaskis, where I'm looking forward to meeting with my ministerial counterparts from across Canada to strengthen collaboration on digital trust and cybersecurity. Together we're working to protect personal data and ensuring our nation's cybersecurity remains strong. #FPTSymposium
