I had a wonderful conversation this morning about shared priorities and the work ahead with Secretary of State for Sport Adam van Koeverden. I’m excited to continue this work at the Federal Provincial Territorial Sports Ministers meeting in St. John’s later this month!

Rechie Valdez, Minister for Women and Gender Equality as well as Secretary of State for Small Business and Tourism, and I had a great first meeting this morning. BC is a top tourism destination and I’m excited to work together to continue to support this vital industry in BC.

☕️ Small businesses are the backbone of our communities. They drive local economies, create jobs & shape BC’s unique character. Thanks to Ministers @annekangburnaby.bsky.social & @christineboyle.bsky.social for joining me in visiting the Himalaya Restaurant near my office! @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social

I was honoured and proud to meet Her Excellency Artemis Malo of the Republic of Albania. I'm looking forward to growing and strengthening our academic and community ties and fostering our relationship.

It was great to meet with Bridgitte Anderson to discuss workforce development, BC's tariff response and strengthening business in BC. I will continue to be a strong advocate for BC's businesses, and I'm excited to work with the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade to expand and grow BC's economy.

Our government is committed to investing in, strengthening and diversifying BC, and the best way to do that is by investing in the future workers of the province. These upgrades today will create an environment that will foster growth and opportunity. news.gov.bc.ca/stories/bcit...

As a leader in pathways colleges, Langara College prepares 19,000 future workers every year to make sure we all have the nurses, construction professionals, and Early Childhood Educators, among other careers, we all rely on. Thank you, Langara! You're a critical partner in making lives better.

I was pleased to speak at the BC Federation of Students' AGM. We know that post-secondary education is the most reliable pathway to the middle class. Education and training is critical to making higher wages and strengthening B.C.’s economy. #FutureReadyBC #workforcedevelopment #bcpse

I have heard from parents and students from across the province, like Samantha, that secure and affordable housing is important to them. This government is committed to building critical infrastructure, like housing to help people and communities thrive. news.gov.bc.ca/31923

Investing in people and homes is crucial for BC's growth. Building 260+ beds on campus gives parents peace of mind about their children’s safety while they're away, lowers housing competition between them and local families, and gives students an affordable place to live. #BC

I had a productive meeting today with Philippine Ambassador to Canada Maria Andrelita Austria and Consul General in Vancouver Gina Jamoralin to discuss ongoing collaboration and education opportunities between the Philippines and BC. Excited to build a stronger future together!
