Thank you @brittnyanderson.bsky.social for meeting with @kamloops.ca council on Sunday. Your experience on local government and your strong connection with BC’s Interior both mean you have what it takes to understand our city’s needs. #kamloops

Good meeting this evening with @brittnyanderson.bsky.social and @evandavidbrown.bsky.social this evening! The Minister of State for Awesome ( and for Local Governments and Rural Communities) came to town on her grand rural tour of BC, next stop Valemount/McBride, then on to PG.

Great to see you Mayor Blackwell! I always appreciate hearing your thoughtful and pragmatic solutions for making life better for the people of Clearwater.

The YCCBC team, including several of our alumni and volunteers, were excited to meet with BC Premier @davidebybc.bsky.social and MLA for Kootenay Central @brittnyanderson.bsky.social yesterday. #youthclimatecorps #yccbc

I recently stopped by the Lumby Men's Shed with Mayor Kevin Acton and @harwindersandhu.bsky.social. Men's Sheds bring guys together to build, create, and connect. They’re vital for mental health, tackling loneliness, fostering community, and learning new skills. Check out that canoe!

Mayor Victor Cumming took myself and @harwindersandhu.bsky.social up Middleton Mountain for a beautiful panoramic view of Vernon, Coldstream & the surrounding area! Mayor Cumming is an encyclopedia of all things Vernon and his passion for his community is evident from the moment you meet him.

Just a couple features on my walking tour of Summerland with Mayor Doug Holmes: 60 affordable housing units under construction and new childcare spaces! 🏘️ I’m proud to be part of a government that makes these meaningful investments across BC.

It was great to connect with Secretary of State @buckleybelanger.bsky.social to discuss rural development & our shared priorities for BC. We’re both committed to ensuring that rural people & rural communities are well-represented and have a strong voice within the federal and provincial govt.

I popped over to North Van on the SeaBus today, or “The People’s Yacht” as Bowinn Ma calls it. I had a great visit with Mayor Buchanan who enlightened me of the rich history of the shipyards & the tremendous work the city has undertaken in transforming the waterfront. Thank you!

Thank you, RDOS, for the informative meeting! Grateful for the insights shared and for your advocacy of the work that lies ahead of us to strengthen our Okanagan-Similkameen communities.

Always great hospitality in Osoyoos! The Town welcomes an estimated 300,000 visitors a year, with the average stay of over a week! It’s a true jewel of the Okanagan Valley. I really appreciated discussing their priorities and the opportunities for partnership with the Province.

It was a beautiful day to stop by the Village of Midway and visit with Mayor McMynn and councillors! It was also fitting to check out their new spray park that our government helped fund in 2023, given that it was 38 degrees out! ☀️

Greenwood might be the smallest city in Canada, but its charm is through the roof. I had a great meeting with the mayor, council and staff & appreciated the tour of the historic courthouse which served as the Supreme Court from 1902 to 1953. I encourage everyone to check it out!

An incredible amount of work has gone into recovery & mitigation following the devastating floods in Grand Forks in 2018. The resilience of this community is remarkable & I’m proud of our government for stepping up and working hand in hand w/ Grand Forks to get where we are today.

Always grateful to meet with my neighbours at the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary! I appreciated hearing about the work (and challenges!) that they’re undertaking and how we can better work together toward our common goals.
