This past weekend was the first BC Special Olympics since before COVID.

My aunt loved her time competing in the Special Olympics in Saskatchewan and I’m proud that our government - @davidebybc.bsky.social and @spencerch.bsky.social - were there for the opening ceremonies.

Good news for tourism in Victoria!

Together we celebrated the groundbreaking for the first new downtown Hotel in 20 years. Thank you Mayor Alto, Chard Development, Hyatt Hotels, and UVIC for helping make it happen. More jobs, more tourism, stronger BC!

Take a trip to BC’s past at historic Barkerville!

I had an amazing time touring the site with Carrie Chard & the board. With incredible heritage preservation, character actors, and performances, you’ll feel like you’ve left modern day BC and entered the Gold Rush! #ExploreBC

We sent coffee and tea to health care workers in Seattle so we could share the many benefits of working in our beautiful province.

It’s a win-win situation – when more talented professionals join our health care system, patients benefit from compassionate, evidence-based care.

Growing our trade with Asia is one of the keys to becoming Canada's new economic engine.

We are making the most of our geographic advantage to attract investments and good jobs right here in BC.

BC is home to beautiful wildlife, and Campbell River is no exception!

I had a wonderful time whale watching today with my colleagues and visiting Church House historic site.

My deepest gratitude to Homalco Tours, and the nation for hosting us!

BC has what the world needs — and the ports to deliver. In Seoul, we’re strengthening trade to support jobs in BC.

A new UBC–POSTECH partnership will lead innovations in quantum tech, AI, life sciences and sustainability.

BC is going to be Canada’s economic engine.
