Juan de Fuca - Malahat
Parliamentary Secretary of Accessibility
When tragedy struck our community, the loss of 12-year-old Xavier Rasul-Jankovics to a reckless driver, we knew action had to follow.
This isn’t about politics. This is about protecting lives. We are confident, and we stand firm: safety comes first.

Big news for B.C. families 💙

Today, I introduced legislation that will make it easier for school districts to offer #ChildCareOnSchoolGrounds — so parents can find quality care in the same safe, familiar places where their kids learn & grow.

BC’s growth is Canada’s growth.

A TeamCanada approach means we can defend Canadian steel producers while ensuring BC has access to fairly priced steel, so we can build our infrastructure, grow the economy, and continue supporting steel workers in B.C.

Muslim communities will be gathering today to celebrate Eid al-Adha.

Being the time of Hajj, this day is a reminder of the importance of sharing, gratitude and caring for others – values we all share as British Columbians.

Eid Mubarak!

British Columbians are doing their best to buy BC when they can and they expect the government to do the same.

Now is the time to continue to support Canadian jobs, find new markets and develop strong ties with countries that aren’t threatening us.

Thanks to the unwavering efforts of Grace Lore & Mitzi Dean, the Westshore has opened 20 new recovery beds for women seeking treatment.

Everyone deserves to live with dignity and support. And having a safe place to heal makes all the difference.

Great news.
