Happy Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s Gurpurab! May we continue to live by his teachings of equality, kindness, and service to others. 🙏

Today, Sikh communities will be celebrating Gurpurab – the 556th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the founder of the Sikh faith.

His message of equality and selfless service of others continue to inspire people of all faiths and backgrounds.

Happy Gurpurab!

Proud to welcome the new Pharmacy Care Clinic in Surrey-Fleetwood & 6 more across Surrey! These clinics mean faster, community-based care for families & less strain on ERs & family doctors. Excited to see this step forward for our community.

On my way to Denver to attend the 2025 Precious Metals Summit at Beaver Creek Resort. I’m so happy to join Team BC at the Summit and excited to talk about how BC is the absolute best exploration and mining jurisdiction for investors.

Proud to join federal partners, the City of White Rock, and the Semiahmoo First Nation to announce a joint $10M investment in stormwater upgrades along Marine Drive. Cleaner water, safer roads, and stronger protection for the community.

I can’t describe the relief we all feel knowing that these three workers are going to be able to go home to their families.

My sincere thanks go out to everyone who worked tirelessly to make this rescue happen!

Again, our shared goal is to get the workers back safely and that is the immediate focus of all our efforts.

Mining operators in B.C. – including Newmont – have highly trained Mine Rescue teams at the ready to respond in emergency situations.

and I’m heartened to see the immediate support that’s been provided from others across the mining industry, in the form of supplies, equipment and expertise to assist with this situation.

The Ministry of Transportation expedited a permit to allow heavy equipment to be moved from the nearby Brucejack mine to Red Chris to assist,

The Ministry of Mining and Critical Minerals has dispatched a geotechnical inspector of mines to the site to work with Newmont to support their rescue efforts, and we stand ready to offer any assistance necessary.

Our thoughts are with the workers, their families and co-workers, and we will do everything we can to support the company’s efforts to ensure the affected workers are brought to safety as soon as possible.

We are aware of the incident at Red Chris Mine in Northwestern B.C. and are working closely with the mine operator to support them.

Canadians are positive people.

We’ve always been good neighbours, but we know how to stand up against threats to our sovereignty, our economy and our jobs.

Our government is focused on delivering real solutions for the priorities of British Columbians.

The contrast to the far-right antics of the Conservatives could not be more stark.

British Columbia has deep ties with Gyeonggi Province and strong relationships with partners like Samsung.

We are working together to strengthen our sustainable economy and support jobs and the communities that depend on them

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.

It was great to visit the brand new modular addition at Walnut Road Elementary in #Surrey today. This new addition brings 295 more student seats to Surrey and is another great step forward in supporting growing communities. 🙌 @JagrupBrar.bsky.social

May is Mining Month in B.C. and today representatives from the sector came to the Legislature to show off their projects and the good work they do in B.C.

Thank you to my colleague, Minister @jagrupbrar.bsky.social, who took the opportunity to show me a scaled version of one of our many mines in BC
