B.C. Budget 2026 reaffirms our commitment to children and families across British Columbia.💛📚 ✔️ $634M new funding in K–12 education funding ✔️ $330M lift to ChildCareBC ✔️ Investments for before and after school care ✔️ $167M for the Classroom Enhancement Fund 1/2 🧵 #bcpoli

Today, @gregorrobertson.bsky.social and I jointly announced that BC and the federal government have put forward $370 million to rapidly build 700+ supportive and transitional homes to seriously address homeslessness in BC.

We mark Family Day this year with heavy hearts. We ache for the families of Tumbler Ridge. We hold them in our prayers and stand with them in their pain and grief. (1/2)

This week we witnessed a truly horrific school shooting in Tumbler Ridge. And at a time when British Columbians are uniting in support of the community, some people have been exploiting this tragedy to push a political agenda against trans kids. That's shameful and wrong. 🧵

All of BC is wrapping the families of Tumbler Ridge with love. Supports are available: BC Mental Health Support Line: 310-6789 Kids Help Phone: Text “CONNECT” to 686868 Thank you to the emergency responders on the ground for the work they are doing.

"This is Ishtar and Langley's first second-stage housing facility, and I know that the 18 months that the women spend with Ishtar are going to be transformative,” said Julia Davidson, executive director of the society. " www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

“These aren’t just homes. They are new beginnings.” Nearly 160 new homes for women and children fleeing violence, in Langley and Vancouver. Part of our government’s ongoing commitment to this work, alongside strong community partners, leaders and advocates. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

@christineboyle.bsky.social & I visited Langara College for a conversation as we remain committed to a post-secondary system that is accessible & affordable for students, sustainable for institutions, responsible with public resources & aligned with BC’s economic priorities. @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social

🥰 Thank you to the Province of #BC for proclaiming #FamilyLiteracyWeek January 25-February 1, 2026! 🔗 Read our media release with a comment from Minister of Housing and Municipal Affairs Christine Boyle at decoda.ca/wp-content/u... @christineboyle.bsky.social Learn more decoda.ca/get-involved...

As Peter Milobar and Caroline Elliott enter the B.C. Conservative leadership race today, I’m calling on every candidate to be clear: residential school denial has no place in British Columbia. 🧵

👩‍🍳🍗 MLA @christineboyle.bsky.social & I were honoured to serve meals at the 82nd Annual Christmas Meal hosted by @uniongospelmission.bsky.social. Each year, UGM staff & volunteers come together to share food, hope & connection with our community during the holiday season. @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social

Thank you to every first responder, City staffer, emergency management professional, volunteer, and local leader who has stepped up to help people. You are making a positive difference. 💜 @cityofabbotsford.bsky.social

Violence and antisemitism have no place here or anywhere. May the light always shine even in the darkest of moments. 🕎

Complex Care Housing connects people with the care and services they need to manage complex health challenges. Without this support, many face cycles of evictions, shelter stays and emergency room visits. @christineboyle.bsky.social #ComplexCareHousing

Congratulations to these municipalities and all who are working hard towards their housing targets! #bcpoli #homesforpeople /1

The Spec tax has helped bring down rent by 10% and stop home prices from skyrocketing. Just as we’re making progress, the BC Conservatives want to scrap our action plan. #bcpoli /1

Families, seniors, and workers will be turning the key and walking through the doorway of their new home sooner! With innovations like DASH from @bchousing.bsky.social, a first-in-Canada online platform, BC is making it easier & faster to build affordable #homesforpeople.

This could threaten thousands of long-term renters and encourage bad faith evictions before next year’s FIFA World Cup.   Rents are down 10% partly because of these STR rules, but the BC Conservatives are trying to weaken and support repealing them entirely.   We won't let them.

BC's housing minister, Christine Boyle spoke to the #HousingCentral crowd. She thanked the sector for its tireless work to provide safe and affordable housing. "I believe we all share the save vision here."

Last week, we welcomed @christineboyle.bsky.social @nikisharma.bsky.social and @brendabailey.bsky.social to Genome BC & Canada’s Michael Smith Genome Sciences Centre. We shared how genomics drives innovation across BC—from precision health to sustainability & Indigenous-led research.

It’s another month of good news for renters in BC! Rents are continuing to come down in our province, and we are leading the way in the whole country. #bcpoli #homesforpeople

Rewind to last week in the legislature ⏮️ and it was a BUSY one. Housing announcements in Vancouver, Sechelt, Whistler &Fruitvale. Legislation moved forward, including lowering barriers to making child care available in schools and making it easier to build small-scale multi-unit housing.

With the days getting colder and shorter, indoor spaces are life-saving for our neighbours who need a place to get inside from the cold, have a place to sleep, and get hot meals and access to support services. #bcpoli

That’s a wrap on the First Nations Leadership Gathering! Feeling grateful and energized meeting with dozens of Nations from across BC to talk about the work we’re doing together on housing and reconciliation. Now I’m looking forward to getting to work on all that we discussed. #bcpoli #FNLG2025

Today, the BC Government and Coastal First Nations signed the North Coast Protection Declaration, urging the federal government to stand firm in upholding the tanker ban. BC’s coast is stunning and sacred, it is teeming with life, culture and history. #ProtectOurCoast #BCPoli #TankerBan

What a great start to the First Nations Leadership Gathering! So lovely to be with so many colleagues and friends, and I’m looking forward to all the important conversations and good work we’ll get done together this week. #FNLG2025 #bcpoli

It’s a dark and spooky night out there. Look out for the ghouls and ghosts and demon hunters everywhere! Be safe, have fun….and let’s go #BlueJays! Happy Halloween! 🎃⚾️

We’re turning the page on Library Month 📖 but don’t judge a book by its cover…because we love libraries all year long! I love supporting and celebrating all of the amazing work that libraries do to serve communities across BC, as both the Minister responsible for literacy programs… /1

Powerful op-ed about #TinyHomes in #Penticton: “…part of the Heart and Hearth Program, a thoughtful, community-based plan from BC Housing and the Province that includes employment and life-skill development, mental health services, and access to treatment.” www.pentictonherald.ca/opinion/arti...

Complex-care housing is making a real difference for residents like J.T. The supports that complex-care housing provides can help people establish stability, safety, build connections and break the cycle of homelessness. @christineboyle.bsky.social

Spent the day on Salt Spring Island with MLA Botterell to announce the opening of a new supportive @bchousing.bsky.social project with 32 deeply affordable units with supports + 4 affordable rental homes for low to middle income people. #homesforpeople #bcpoli

In contrast to the horrible rental news out of Ontario this week, I have a government in my current province who are actively trying to make homes more accessible and affordable. 💞Thank you.

I’ve let Mayor Sim know that we won’t be calling Park Board legislation (Bill 26) for second reading this Fall. The City of Vancouver has more work to do clarifying their intended direction, including working with Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations.

Here to start off your Monday with a wrap-up of what happened last week, during the second week of the fall sitting of the Legislative Assembly! This is just a small peek into the work our government is doing to make life better for all British Columbians, and we’ll be back for week 3. #bcpoli

We’re taking action on homelessness in Penticton. Helping people experiencing homelessness find a safe, supported place to stay 🏠 with the City of Penticton, snpink’tn Indian Band, and local partners. #homesforpeople #bcpoli

With my colleagues @christineboyle.bsky.social, @joanphillipndp.bsky.social & @sheilamalcolmsonbc.bsky.social, we had the opportunity to tour the Little Mountain Neighbourhood House / United Way Food Hub & connect with the incredible volunteers who make it all possible. @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social

🥬🥕🧅🍞🥚 Thanks to @unitedwaybc.bsky.social for inviting my colleagues & me on a tour of the South Vancouver & Little Mountain Food Hubs! uwbc.ca/stories/2025... @christineboyle.bsky.social @mlajroutledge.bsky.social @joanphillipndp.bsky.social @sheilamalcolmsonbc.bsky.social @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social

So happy to break ground at Douglas/Caledonia in Victoria on more than 500 new homes!   With a community plaza, retail, and a childcare centre for 44 kids, this will be a wonderful home for Victoria families. More good work to do.

Groundbreaking of 500 homes at a range of rental prices including BC housing affordable homes, plus a major grocery store. This mixed use project will be transformative for the North end of the core. #yyj #housing @christineboyle.bsky.social

Coming to you with good news on progress for renters in BC! Rentals.ca Oct Rent Report shows that rents continue to go down in the province. Good policies are making a difference on housing affordability - we’re keeping this work going. #bcpoli

And that’s a wrap on last week, the first week of the fall sitting of the Legislative Assembly! Here to share a slice of the work we’ve gotten done for British Columbians so far and we’ll be back for week 2. #bcpoli

THANK YOU @christineboyle.bsky.social Hope this goes through! #AirBNB #HousingCrisis

Nerdy Sunday! Getting ready for the Fall legislative sitting by baking zucchini muffins and watching a recording of a #Housing webinar from @1alexhemingway.bsky.social from the new @bcpolicy.bsky.social. bcpolicy.ca/2025/10/03/s... #BCPoli #AffordableHousing

After years of devastating crop losses caused by extreme weather, this season’s record-breaking cherry harvest is a hard-earned win for BC tree fruit farmers. Let's keep supporting growers in our communities as they recover and adapt to protect future harvests.

And that’s a wrap on #UBCM25! It was a privilege to hear the advocacy and solutions coming from local leaders about the issues their communities are facing. I’m looking forward to continuing this good work together. #LocalGovernment #HomesforPeople #StrongCommunities #BCPoli

We’re on Day 3 of #UBCM25 and I’ve already had the pleasure of connecting with so many of our municipal partners. Looking forward to meeting with my colleagues across BC as we discuss the collaborative work we can continue to do to build more housing in every community.

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.
