This is community-led wildfire risk reduction. It’s how we prepare for the next wildfire season. With work like this, communities become safer, forests become healthier, and industry becomes more confident. Osoyoos Indian Band, Siya Forestry, and FESBC - well done. #BCWildfire

When stream flows drop, fish & wildlife are at risk. In some B.C. towns, summer residential use is 70% of total water use. Save water to protect rivers, species & avoid restrictions.

#BCWood in action. The new PNE Amphitheatre features the world’s largest timber arch roof, first of its kind to be built from mass timber. Just one way we can diversify is by getting creative. Finding bold uses for wood, creating new wood products & in turn more jobs. #BCForestry #bcpoli #bcgov

Spearhead is an industry leader in advanced timber fabrication – creating beautiful, custom designed, value-added wood projects here in BC and across the world. I had the opportunity in the spring to meet the team and tour their site in Nelson.

🚧 The new St Paul’s Hospital is looking good! 👀 The new 548-bed full service, acute-care hospital & integrated health campus is set to be completed in 2027. There’s over 2,000 workers building the new facility everyday! www.providencehealthcare.org/en/future-sites-projects/new-st-pauls-hospital

Great discussion with Alberta's Minister of Jobs, Economy and Trade, Joseph Schow, on breaking down interprovincial trade barriers for a truly integrated Canadian marketplace. I always thought Premier Dave Eby is tall. Turns out he has some competition! 😯

It was a fantastic day with perfect weather to celebrate pride in Vancouver! We were able to join in solidarity with the 2SLGBTQIA+ community today and every day. Happy Pride, Vancouver! #bcpoli #bcndp #mlajennb #happypride #vancouverpride2025 #bcdayweekend

Just a couple features on my walking tour of Summerland with Mayor Doug Holmes: 60 affordable housing units under construction and new childcare spaces! 🏘️ I’m proud to be part of a government that makes these meaningful investments across BC.

Canadians are positive people. We’ve always been good neighbours, but we know how to stand up against threats to our sovereignty, our economy and our jobs.

With solid partnerships, we’re creating good jobs for BCers - now and into the future. Through our publicly owned, BC Hydro - we are building projects as critical to B.C.’s economic future as the North Coast Transmission Line.⚡️ 🧵[1/3]

No matter what Trump’s ambassador says, Canadians aren’t “mean and nasty” for choosing to buy Canadian and travel locally. We’re taking a stand against Trump’s threats to our sovereignty and standing on our own two feet. Let's hold the line.

Our government is making it easier than ever for internationally-trained doctors to bring their skills to B.C. We are implementing a four cornerstone approach of retention, redesign, recruitment, and training in order to relieve our #healthcareprofessional shortage. #healthcare

British Columbia has reached a trade agreement with Ontario. This will make it easier for people to work in both provinces, provide producers easier access to markets, while giving consumers more choice.

We sent coffee and tea to health care workers in Seattle so we could share the many benefits of working in our beautiful province. It’s a win-win situation – when more talented professionals join our health care system, patients benefit from compassionate, evidence-based care.

🎉 The expanded Penticton Oncology Clinic opens today at Penticton Regional Hospital! With double the treatment bays, added comfort & privacy, and room for 400 more patients each year, it brings better cancer care closer to home in the South Okanagan 💙 #CancerCare https://news.gov.bc.ca/32496

The Supreme Court of BC has certified our class action against McKinsey & Company, Inc., clearing the path to pursue those who helped promote and sell the opioid products that caused so much harm for families This marks another step forward in holding those accountable who fueled the opioid crisis

My mission since becoming Minister has been the same: standing up for workers and restoring confidence in forestry. I am humbled and prepared to serve as Chair of the Canadian Council of Forest Ministers, where I will defend that mission on the international stage. #BCForestry

Everyone deserves to live without threats to their safety. I’m asking Prime Minister Carney to list the Lawrence Bishnoi gang as a terrorist group in Canada, which will give police additional tools they need to stop and prevent the extortion of Canadians.

People who live and travel in BC’s coastal communities rely on BC Ferries to get where they need to be. They know that we need new ferries in place now. We’ll work with the federal government to bolster our shipbuilding sector so future ferries can be built right here at home.

As we wrap things up in Tokyo and head to Osaka, our focus is on strengthening our trade and supporting jobs in BC. I look forward to expanding our partnerships and building a stronger future for BC.

Today, we announced 18 new care beds at Alouette Homes, providing people who have severe mental-health challenges, often coupled with substance-use challenges and brain injuries, with housing and care that is safe and dignified.👇🏼 news.gov.bc.ca/releases/202... @terryyungyvr.bsky.social
