This morning was the #TransgenderDayofVisibility Breakfast hosted by QMUNITY. It’s important that we come together to listen to and celebrate transgender, non-binary, Two-Spirit and gender-diverse voices today and every day. I love and support Trans youth, adults, parents, and families 🏳️‍⚧️

And thank you for meeting with us, Minister. Trump's tariff war has put working people under tremendous pressure. With tough times looming, it's more important than ever to make workers' voices heard in the halls of the Legislature — and reflect workers' priorities in the actions of our government.
🇨🇦 Thank you @bcfed.bsky.social, for standing up to protect BC jobs and your tireless advocacy for workers all across our Province.

Great to see the @bcwildfireservice.bsky.social is on the front lines in California to assist our neighbours in combatting the devastating wildfires.

Thank you to all of BC’s firefighters for pitching in! 🙌
CAL FIRE has asked for a senior management team from BC Wildfire Service – They will be departing imminently.

We're also working to send ground crews as part of a national response.

California has been there for us, we will be there for them. That’s what good neighbours do.

As we gather today to say goodbye to John, I’m reflecting on how much love John had for this province and its people. Today, we aren’t just saying farewell to a leader but to a friend. His wife, Ellie, and sons, Evan and Nate, remain in our thoughts and prayers.
