Yesterday, we got the assurance we came to Ottawa for - the federal government committed to partnering with us on flood mitigation for the Sumas Prairie.

We look forward to the critical work ahead to protect communities, infrastructure, food security, the economy and supply chains.

The #FraserValley is a lifeline for B.C. and Western Canada. This trip to Ottawa is to receive commitment from the federal government and help build resiliency to prevent devastating events like the flooding we saw in December and in 2021.

When the call comes, BC is always ready to answer.

Today, BC Wildfire Service personnel are headed to Australia, to help our long time partners fight back against the wildfire situation in the state of Victoria.

We wish our crew a safe and successful deployment.

Have you ever wondered what 4 million sandbags looks like? Yesterday we visited the warehouse in Chilliwack that stores flood assets for EMCR. These resources are ready to deploy to help keep people and communities safe.

🚨Fallen & low hanging power lines are an emergency - even if they aren’t buzzing or sparking when you come across them⚡️

1️⃣ Stay back at least 10 metres - (about the length of a bus) 🚌

2️⃣ Keep others away too ✋

3️⃣ Call 9-1-1 ☎️

A road cuts through a wooded area with tall trees on both sides. One tree is fallen directly across the road from one side to the other. Behind the three are multiple trucks and crews of people are working on restoring power lines that have been pulled down from their poles by the fallen tree.

This has been a difficult week for many people impacted by flooding in B.C.

Today, Premier @davidebybc.bsky.social, Minister @lanapopham.bsky.social, Mayor Ross Siemens, and I visited the Barrowtown Pump Station and impacted farmers in @cityofabbotsford.bsky.social.

Abbotsford Mayor, Ross Siemens shakes hands with Minister Kelly Greene at the Barrowtown Pump Station in the City of Abbotford - both of them are wearing warm jackets. Abbotsford Mayor Ross Siemen and David Eby the Premier of British Columbia are standing inside the Barrowtown Pump Station having a discussion. In the background of the photo looking out the loading bay's open doors you can see multiple sandbags around the perimeter of the facility to protect against flooding. A wide-angle photo of the Barrowtown Pump Station in the City of Abbotsford shows the grey square building. The loading door is open allowing you to see into the station where a group of people are gathered having a discussion. Around the perimeter of the entry into the loading dock you can see large white coloured sandbags stacked in a row to protect against flooding. In the far background of the photo you can see it is overcast grey skies and there is a wooded area to the right side. Three large grey Barrowtown Pump infrastructure units are situated in a row. On each unit is a black placard that reads in grey text "Canadian General Elecric".
