February 11 marked International Day of Women and Girls in Science 🔬✨ Throughout British Columbia, women and girls are making incredible contributions in STEM and helping shape a stronger future for our communities.

Family day looks different this year. While many across BC are spending time with their families and the people they hold close, I recognize enormous tragedy in Tumbler Ridge where people are grieving an unimaginable loss after Tuesday’s tragic events.

Saturday was a visit to the City of Lougheed and their Lunar New Year celebrations. Then a trip to Hanin Village, spending time connecting with local businesses in Coquitlam. #mlajennb #coquitlam #buylocal #lunarnewyear2026🐴 #yearofthehorse

One year ago today, we said goodbye to a leader,a champion of all British Columbians, and a guiding force. His legacy lives on in the lives he touched, the hearts he lifted, and the hope he inspired - particularly in one of our darkest times. Thank you, John. #publicservice #mlajennb #inmemoriam

Tonight, on the longest and darkest night of the year, families from Afghan, Azeri, Iranian, Kurdish, Tajik and Uzbek communities across British Columbia will gather to celebrate Yalda. For thousands of years, Yalda has marked the renewal of the sun and the triumph of light over darkness.

Thursday night, I joined an ancient Hanukkah tradition - the menorah lighting. The message of light, hope, and resilience is age old, and particularly poignant in light of the recent tragedy in Australia.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to Wednesday’s holiday open house, and our consistency office staff for working so hard to put it together. Wishing everyone in Coquitlam Maillardville and across the province the very best of this holiday season. #mlajennb #coquitlam #happyholidays

Today is Jane Austen’s 250th birthday! Two and a half centuries later, Jane still reminds us that women’s voices matter. Her wit and wisdom broke barriers in a world that underestimated women - and her words continue to inspire people today. #janeausten250 #genderequity #voicesmatter #mlajennb

Every year on Dec. 6, we remember the women whose lives were stolen by violence and we recommit to building a future where every woman and girl is safe, valued and free. Remembrance must be matched with action because mourning without change is not enough.

Today, we remember women hurt or killed by cowardly violence and stand with survivors and their loved ones. As the 16 Days of Activism begins, we recommit to preventing violence, strengthening supports, and doing the work so every woman in our province feels safe.
