🌿 B.C. communities are showing up for our parks!
From cities to small towns, British Columbians are backing our parks in a meaningful way. Since 2017, over 630,000 park plates have helped fund vital work - from restoring ecosystems to connecting kids with nature.

Our dialogue & shared commitment help us continue building safer, stronger communities together.
@bcndpcaucus.bsky.social
We've been laser-focused on increasing access to family medicine - and it's having an impact.
We've attached 600,000 British Columbians to a family doctor or nurse practitioner since 2023.

Visibility matters! Everyone deserves to see themselves reflected and valued. We all benefit when people can live and work as their most authentic selves.
Recently visited Hopcott Farms in Pitt Meadows, a multi-generational family operation. From cranberry fields to the butcher shop, it’s a great opportunity to shop local.
When we #BuyBC, we get fresh products, support our neighbours and strengthen our local economy.
