From my family to yours, wishing you a Merry Christmas!

The Premier has appointed me as his liaison to Washington state. As we work through the challenges related to this pandemic and through the post-pandemic recovery, there will be many opportunities to collaborate with our neighbours to the south. I look forward to building on my experience as Vice President of the Pacific Northwest Economic Region and to continued cooperation on common issues related to economic development, high speed rail, daylight saving, and more.

Enjoying a warm, cozy evening by the fire writing Christmas cards. I am reminded of how important connection to each other is, especially during the Holidays. While we can’t gather with our families this year as we usually do, there are still many ways we can stay in touch. Digital options are great...but, there is always something special about sending and receiving mail:)

The pandemic has impacted all of our lives. Each day I continue to be inspired by the kindness, care and respect we have all shown for each other during these difficult times. While the holidays may look a little different this year, there are many ways we can still celebrate while keeping everyone safe. We are in this together. This holiday season make sure to: stay local ... plan holiday dinners for your household or core bubble only hold virtual gift unwrappings and celebrations partake in virtual religious services go for a walk with your household to check out neighbourhood light displays drive-in events and light displays are OK Santa can still visit postpone in-person celebrations reschedule staff holiday get-togethers postpone all non-essential travel postpone any out-of-province travel See more

We couldn't be in Victoria, but we were still officially sworn in today. I'm looking forward to working with all 56 of my colleagues!

It was a pleasure to host John Horgan in Port Moody today. We had great conversations about heath care and Eagle Ridge Hospital followed by visits with several local business owners. We are hiring 7000 new front-line health care workers to care for our seniors and most vulnerable in long-term care, and launching a new medical school to help expand our health care workforce. We are helping small businesses through a tax credit for hiring new staff and providing grants for 15,0...00 hard hit businesses, protecting 200,000 jobs. These are only a few examples of the things we're doing to keep BC moving forward.

WE NEED VOLUNTEERS FOR ELECTION DAY! Last week of the campaign and we are gearing up for Election Day, this Saturday October 24th. Want to have some fun and be part of the excitement? Send me a message if you can volunteer! ... #bcelxn2020 #coquitlam #portmoody #anmore #belcarra #bcndp

I am honoured to be endorsed by the local Port Moody and Coquitlam firefighters. Thank you for all you do in keeping our communities safe.

A quick visit to Burrard Thermal with George Heyman. This site with its access to clean high voltage electricity and access to the water is a prime location for nurturing clean tech and clean energy innovation to help combat climate change. This is just one example of how a BC NDP government would tackle climate change while growing a strong sustainable green economy. #bcelxn2020 #portmoody #coquitlam #anmore #belcarra #bcndp

It was great to connect with folks bright and early this morning at Moody Center Skytrain station.

Even before the pandemic, people were struggling to rent and live in BC and the pressures created by COVID-19 have only made it harder. Many are dealing with reduced hours or work or even the loss of their income altogether. We need to keep helping renters get through the pandemic and make life more affordable over the long term.

Ordering a mail-in ballot before October 2? Here's how to fill it out.

The impacts of COVID-19 have exposed long-standing challenges faced by seniors care facilities. Our seniors and elders simply deserve better. Today John Horgan committed to doing exactly that if re-elected as premier of an NDP government.

What title would you give to this 90s album cover? Affordable housing is a critical need and a key election issue. Last week myself and fellow NDP candidates Selina Robinson and Fin Donnelly joined John Horgan to reaffirm the NDP’s commitment to affordable housing in the Tri-Cities. ... If elected government, the NDP with John Horgan’s leadership will work to ensure affordable housing continues to be a top priority.
