Beautiful morning to knock on doors and talk to constituents in #Vancouver #LittleMountain! Huge thank you to all of these amazing volunteers! As we head into the Fall session of the legislature, it’s so important to hear directly from people about the issues that matter to them. #BCPoli

Fantastic turnout for #VIRENT here in Victoria! Speaking to attendees, housing minister @christineboyle.bsky.social expressed gratitude for the work of BC non-profits to create stronger, healthier communities. Thank you for joining us, minister!

Celebrating nearly 250 new rental homes breaking ground in the Township of Langley! Fast-tracked through #BCBuilds, from concept to construction in 12-18 months, to meet the needs of the people who keep our communities running. We're building homes faster, where people need them.

Grateful to join Indigenous and nonprofit housing leaders this week at the AHMA AGM, the BCAFN Housing Forum, and BCNPHAs RENT event. We're making historic investments to build homes that reflect belonging and community, including $1.7B for Indigenous housing, with 3260 units delivered or underway.

Beautiful day to be out knocking on doors & talking to neighbours in #Vancouver #LittleMountain! Lots of good conversations about #Housing, #Homelessness, #ClimateAction, #Tariffs, #PublicEducation, #Infrastructure and more! @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social

400 more new, affordable rental homes that will help meet the needs of people are coming to Metro Vancouver. We’re working to deliver homes that will offer greater stability and opportunity for people near their jobs, families and activities they love. @enfhs.bsky.social news.gov.bc.ca/32765

It was a pleasure to join the Federal, Provincial & Territorial Housing Forum in Vancouver. We showcased BC’s broad array of action on affordable housing, including our innovative DASH program for accelerating housing delivery.

For people experiencing homelessness in DTES, it can be hard to access basic comforts like a fresh meal or hot shower. I’m thrilled that services from Watari and Aboriginal Front Door Society will continue with the Province’s extended investments. news.gov.bc.ca/32751

Lovely to meet with Minister Bernadette Smith, Manitoba’s Minister of Housing, Addictions, and Homelessness. We had a great conversation about our shared work to bring people indoors into safe and supportive housing, and delivering more affordable homes for all.

People need homes with rents they can afford in communities they love. We’re building new rental homes, and cracking down on speculation, and we are seeing progress for renters across BC! And there’s more to do. #BCPoli #HomesForPeople Watch: globalnews.ca/news/1138978...

With students returning to school next week, new schools & classroom additions are opening across BC.   We’re building the critical infrastructure that British Columbians rely on – and we’re going to keep building to meet the demands of our growing province. news.gov.bc.ca/32700

From better parks and sport courts to transit and water systems, people thrive when their communities have the infrastructure that makes life better for everyone!

#Vancouver #LittleMountain has thousands of amazing local businesses! We’re out visiting them to hear from people in our community. This summer we've particularly got our eyes on ice cream. So it was a treat to visit #KoboIceCream on Main & 10th. DELICIOUS! 😃🍦 @mountpleasantbia.bsky.social

☕️ 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

It was a huge honour to be sworn in as BC’s new Minister of Housing and Municipal Affairs today.

I’m honoured to have co-chaired the annual Maa-nulth – BC G2G Agreement Leadership Forum with Chief Councillor John Jack of Huu-ay-aht First Nations. In its 7th year of implementation, we signed an Amended G2G Agreement that supports the relationship as governments and treaty partners. (1/3)

Hate and discrimination have no place in BC and equality isn’t up for negotiation. Everyone deserves to live in safety, free to be who they are. And we will always defend these rights.

It was an amazing turnout today, great to see so many caring people sharing space, marching, drumming, dancing & singing. 🙌🏽❤️

Thank you everyone who came to our Spring Negotiators Forum here in Vancouver on Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh territory.

Great news for seniors in our community! Little Mountain Neighbourhood House will be part of a $304m expansion to community seniors services across BC. Joel and his team will be delivering the Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors (TAPS) to help seniors live healthier and more connected lives.

Our value as a society is measured in the way we respond to those in their moment of need. As BC’s Filipino community has shown us, we must do everything we can to meet this challenging moment with love and dedication to community.

Big love to Filipino BC and the Lapu-Lapu Day Block Party. What an incredible event, and an absolutely horrific tragedy. Our hearts are all broken for this senseless violence in the midst of such joy. I’ll keep sharing ways to support the community as they arise. 💔 Message from Filipino BC below👇

Important message from @christineboyle.bsky.social & Jody Wilson-Raybould 👇 "Rather than fear mongering & promoting ignorance of our shared history, we need to embrace the true foundations of BC & Canada, and respond to real threats together & in true partnership." vancouversun.com/opinion/opin...

Trey Helten saved so many lives. And his won’t be forgotten. It was an honour to know him. vancouversun.com/news/obituar...

What a joy to plant sunflowers with hundreds of kids at Cambie Village’s Easter event Saturday! Huge thank you to all the volunteers who made it happen. I can’t wait to see all of those sunflowers blooming beautifully across #Vancouver #LittleMountain. 🌻⛰️

Today in the house a transphobic question was asked. I was extremely disappointed by the question and the disregard for the harm and danger this languages causes To the 2sLGBTQIA+ community, our government sees you and stands with you Hate should have no place in the Leg and it has no place in BC.
