Corporate interests have guided this industry for too long. Nobody—from environmentalists to forestry companies—is happy with what’s happening with British Columbia’s forests. There is a cost to this conflict.

Mill closures, drought, climate change, tariffs, and wildfires have shaken workers and families, and devastated towns and ecosystems. BC’s forestry industry cannot continue to function the way it has, and we cannot risk another short-term fix.

By delivering 30,000 affordable homes through Cooperation and Responsible Government Accord, the B.C. Greens are helping ensure the Rental Protection Fund keeps existing homes affordable and people rooted in their communities. This is how we prevent displacement and make sure no one is left behind.

We can protect people from housing insecurity by investing early, working with non-profit partners and centring affordability.

We’ve seen the benefits of the Foundry model in Squamish, and I’m thrilled we were able to secure funding for Foundry Pemberton. This kind of ‘no-wrong-door’ wrap-around support is foundational to the BC Greens’ approach to wellness.

Woohoo! New Pemberton Foundry!

Also announced, Foundry locations for West Kelowna, Summerland, 100 Mile House and Port McNeil.

The new Pemberton Foundry will transform the lives of young people in Mt. Currie, Pemberton & the Southern Stl'atl'imx Nations. Free, timely access to services supporting mental health, harm reduction & primary care will not only improve wellness, but also deepen community connections.

The federal airport lands at YYJ could play a critical role in delivering affordable housing for local workers (and seniors) in a manner that respects the environment and community plans. I’ve been assured by the Minister of Housing that the new advisor will seriously consider the YYJ lands.

North Saanich urgently needs affordable housing, and I hope the special advisor delivers real results. I’m encouraged by the municipality’s willingness to work with the province to increase housing supply. This advisor creates an opportunity for faster input and better outcomes—but it must deliver.
Rob Botterell, MLA for Saanich North and the Islands, says he is supporting the appointment of a new provincial housing advisor in North Saanich by hosting an affordable housing forum in February to hear directly from residents affected by housing decisions

BC Greens MLA @jervaler.bsky.social spent a huge amount of 2025 bringing provincial, municipal and First Nations governments together to bring regional transit to Sea-to-Sky. It was promised in our 2025 Accord with the BC NDP.

We aren't quitting yet. Not even close.

Nearly half the power from Site C is being earmarked for the Ksi Lisims LNG project at an undisclosed cost to BC Hydro ratepayers. Minister Dix wants British Columbians to be happy about it.

The Minister says it is the government’s job to ensure projects reach a final investment decision. In doing so, he is overcommitting BC to an LNG industry that is teetering on the edge of obsolescence -- major investors are actively exploring options to sell their stakes in LNG Canada.
