Congratulations Emily on a hard-fought and well-earned campaign victory! I have confidence our new leader will lead a strong grassroots movement across this province and strengthen the BC Green Party writ large.

5/ 2. Tell your local mayor and council to support “Legislating the BC Coastal Marine Strategy” at the 2025 UBCM Convention this September. Vote yes on Resolution NR69! blueprintforthecoast.ca/tell-your-lo...

1/ What happened to BC’s Coastal Marine Strategy? BC is one of the only coastal jurisdictions in North America without a comprehensive plan to protect its coast. #bcpoli #ubcm2025 #coastalmarinestrategy

No matter how the BC government tries to spin it, this LNG export project is 100% owned by US companies, will be built in Korea, and represents a 30-megaton carbon bomb that threatens the health and livelihoods of local residents.

Yesterday, a letter from a leadership contestant’s legal counsel was released to the media, indicating they are considering litigation over the party’s ID verification process. Here's interim Leader Jeremy Valeriote's statement: bcgreens.ca/statement-fr...

It has been five years since the release of the Old Growth Strategic Review, and while this should be a moment to celebrate bold action to protect old growth, instead we are marking half a decade of delay, indecision, and government inaction. #bcpoli #oldgrowth

Individuals who have access to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program should not be blamed for a program rife with fraud and abuse. Companies and corporations who have abused it need to be held accountable, not the migrants accessing it. #bcpoli

The Premier chose to recklessly push a narrative that blames migrants for food bank usage and youth unemployment, while presiding over an economy made more vulnerable by the government’s decisions. #bcpoli

See you at the Salt Spring Fall Fair today! Say hello if you’re on the island.

Air pollution is one of the greatest threats to human health and kills 7 million people per year. Vancouver Coastal Health estimates that air pollution costs B.C. at least $14 billion in health spending every year. #cleanairact

British Columbians should not be left to fend for themselves in smoke-filled summers. A #CleanAirAct offers a clear, achievable path forward. The provincial government must take air quality seriously and act now to protect the health of our communities.

We've done the reviews. Now PFAC has the mandate to put them into action -- and that includes aligning with UNDRIP and fully implementing the Old Growth Action Plan.

Fantastic start to the day supporting @bcgeu.bsky.social workers on the picket line in Victoria! When workers earn a living wage, we all benefit. #bcpoli

Does Mount Polley sound familiar? It’s the site of the worst mining disaster in Canada’s history. Imperial Metals has never been fined or faced legal repercussions. Your tax dollars have covered $40million in clean-up. A decade later, Quesnel Lake is still contaminated.

The BC NDP are trying to sweep their approval of the Mount Polley Mine expansion under the rug. We can’t let that happen. A thread 🧵 #bcpoli www.todayinbc.com/news/bc-gove...

When we invest in people, we don’t just improve individual and collective wellbeing, we strengthen our entire economy. If Premier Eby is serious about BC being Canada’s economic engine, his government should support the workers who keep the engine running.

BC Greens Back Fair Wages Tied to Cost of Living for BCGEU Workers BC Greens Interim Leader @jervaler.bsky.social , MLA for West Vancouver–Sea to Sky, has issued the following statement on current BCGEU Job Action: bcgreencaucus.ca/bc-greens-ba... #bcpoli

A Reminder that Pipi7iyekw/Joffre Lakes Provincial Park will be temporarily closed to recreational use this fall. Here’s a link to my statement on the closures from earlier this summer: bcgreencaucus.ca/mla-valeriot... #bcpoli

The BC NDP showed admirable leadership introducing the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, recognizing the historical and ongoing harms caused by colonization and consecutive Crown governments. However its slow and unclear implementation has caused uncertainty and tension across BC.

The report says as of June 2025, 76 per cent of people in B.C. have a long-term primary care provider. However, the B.C. Greens said the report highlights “the lack of access in rural and remote communities compared to urban centres.” #bcpoli www.mycariboonow.com/111722/news/...

The 2025 Cooperation and Responsible Government Accord (CARGA) between the BC Greens and BC NDP includes a performance analysis of BC’s healthcare system, focused on Primary Care. Phase 1 of this analysis is now public! bcgreencaucus.ca/carga-update...

Other provinces are doing more with fewer doctors, and the data in today’s report shows we can too. #bcpoli

BC Greens interim leader @jervaler.bsky.social chatted with @cfax1070.bsky.social about the status of our agreement with the BC NDP, halfway through Year 1. Listen here! omny.fm/shows/cfax-1... #bcpoli

Great analysis of the unique relationship between the BC Greens and BC NDP. A rare example of cooperative government! It may not make sensational headlines, but does deliver for British Columbians. #bcpoli www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

1/ CARGA Update: NDP and Green caucus deliver results for British Columbians The 2nd Quarterly Report from CARGA 2025 is out now! Dig into the details, including a helpful spreadsheet to track our progress, at this link: bcgreencaucus.ca/carga-update... #bcpoli

How it started: The 2025 agreement between the BC Greens & the BC NDP includes $30 million to build housing like ‘The Village’ in Duncan. These Villages provide wraparound services as well as shelter, reducing homelessness. #bcpoli

Tsunami Watch issued for -the north coast & Haida Gwaii -the central coast & northeast Vancouver Island -the outer west coast of Vancouver Island & the Juan de Fuca Strait coast of B.C. due to the magnitude 8.7 earthquake near Russia. Updates here: www.emergencyinfobc.gov.bc.ca/event/tsunam...

BC Greens interim leader Jeremy Valeriote, MLA for West Vancouver-Sea to Sky, has issued the following statement on the government’s investment of $200 million into Cedar LNG bcgreencaucus.ca/bc-greens-sl... #bcpoli

Instead of continuing to funnel public money into LNG, the Province should invest in economic pathways that support long-term sustainability, public health, and community well-being. #bcpoli

Relieved to hear that all 3 workers are now safe on the surface, after days trapped in BC’s Red Chris mine. Thanks to all those who contributed to the rescue mission.

BC must hold the line on pipeline expansion and lead with bold climate action, says interim BC Greens leader #bcpoli bcgreencaucus.ca/bc-must-hold...

Amid record-breaking wildfires, drought, and climate instability, talks of a new oil pipeline in BC are completely out of step with today’s global environmental and economic realities. #bcpoli

My thoughts are with these three miners and their families. Hoping for a speedy and successful rescue mission.

"The province is failing to meet its 2030 climate goals and we are not on track to hit our 40% emissions reduction target. British Columbians have an opportunity to help shape the process and insist on transparency and accountability on this issue,” said BC Greens interim leader Jeremy Valeriote.

Feedback can be submitted through a short survey at engage.gov.bc.ca/govtogetherb.... The survey is open until August 1, 2025. #bcpoli

Congratulations to the Squamish Nation on securing additional protections for Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Aysáy̓ch. I’m grateful that protection and management of cultural sites and other significant areas will rest with the Squamish Nation.

My thoughts are with Minister Bowinn Ma, her family, and her constituency staff, after a serious incident at her office. Everyone deserves to be safe at work, including all MLAs and constituency staff. We want our very best to serve this province, and we must keep them safe while they serve.

The report is now out, released yesterday. It’s time to address the systemic barriers that continue to cause harm to survivors of gender-based violence, and implement the report’s 21 recommendations. www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/l...

In April, BC Green MLA @robbotterell.bsky.social asked the gov to create a province-wide sexual assault policy. AG Niki Sharma said she’d commissioned an independent review and promised to take action on the report’s findings. #bcpoli

These deaths are preventable and the BC Greens are continuing to call on the government to provide urgent, coordinated action, including: - A regulated alternative to the toxic drug supply - Supervised consumption services that are accessible, low-barrier, and responsive to people’s needs

This report underscores the widening gaps in care, housing, and access to life-saving services. The ongoing loss of life is not inevitable—it’s a consequence of political choices.

The B.C. Greens pushed for this vital step in our agreement with the government, so now people with disabilities in B.C. can access the full range of supports available across Canada.

So BC Ferries is buying new ships from China. Now what? 🧵 #bcpoli #bcferries

Last week the BC NDP granted the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission (PRGT) fracked gas pipeline its request for a substantial start decision. This is a betrayal of environmental stewardship, Indigenous rights, and a threat to sustained climate action in this province. ICYMI: Our statement ⤵️ #bcpoli
