In 2024/25, we completed 200 wildfire risk reduction projects, covering close to 2,440 hectares of land.
This is the work that sets us up for future seasons - reducing the severity of wildfires, better protecting families and communities.

It is one thing to stabilize the sector, with worker supports and new in-BC opportunities.
But it cannot stop there, we must completely transform the sector. Looking internationally, pushing back against Trump, working as one team across BC and Canada.

The BC Wildfire Service is a world-class organization. When Canada needs expertise it looks to British Columbia.
Next week I’m hosting a National Wildfire Symposium. Bringing leaders from coast to coast to coast to take wildfire head on.

We’re looking everywhere for opportunities.
While we lead the offensive, we need the federal government to help us defend our workers.

This is what guides me as MLA, and as Forests Minister. It’s be my advice to anyone in their field. Be the change.

Building more affordable housing, more multiunit rental housing, barring speculators, cutting red tape.

The John Horgan RRU campus is special. For more reasons than one.
@uvic.ca is offering courses tailored to our community, right in the heart of Langford.
I sat down with the UVic team to discuss the work the school is doing to support our new Westshore, post-sec students.

Our forestry workers are tough.
When Rustad was in charge, they watched 100,000 jobs go out the door.
Local logs got shipped away from local mills. But they kept working, kept fighting.
My commitment is that I never want our workers to experience that again. Ever.
