I was honoured to work alongside @melaniejmark , the 1st First Nations woman elected to the @BCLeg and to serve as a Cabinet Minister. Melanie always showed enormous dedication to her constituents and her work in Gov’t, all the while, continuing to be herself. We will miss you!

On #HolocaustRemembranceDay we remember more than six million Jews and the many Roma, people with disabilities, 2SLGBTQ+ people, black people, and more, who were systematically murdered during the Holocaust. 1/2

Congrats to Prof. John Borrows of @UVicLaw for his appointment as an Officer of the Order of Canada! A leader in #Indigenous law, his ideas helped shape the recommendations of the Truth + Reconciliation Commission, & the Supreme Court of Canada cited his important scholarship.

Today I met with intern Ali Lafond to learn about the Indigenous Youth Internship Program, a 12 month program that helps Indigenous youth ages 19-29 get a taste of working in gov. & Indigenous organizations. Took a pic with Ali and one of my staff who is IYIP alumni, Leslie.

There’s a great deal of work ahead in order to move reconciliation forward. As a first step, we’ll be establishing a Secretariat, in consultation and cooperation with Indigenous peoples, in order to ensure that new legislation and policies are consistent with the UN Declaration.

Every one of us has a role to play in reconciliation. Proposal from @CityofVancouver to collaborate with @musqueam @SquamishNation & @tsleilwaututh to implement #UNDRIP is an example of how it could be done at the municipal level.

I have long stood for advancement in treaty making as a lawyer for First Nations. In my work as a treaty negotiator over 20 years ago, I worked with Nuu-chah-nulth leaders including the late George Watts to appropriately acknowledge the horrific legacy of residential schools 1/4

Very encouraged by Andrew Weaver's endorsement of George Heyman and continued support for #CleanBC . We are making progress and we can't afford another 16 years of bad decisions by the BC Liberals. Onwards!

Thank you @AJWVictoriaBC It was an honour to work with Andrew in the development of CleanBC. Taking the climate crisis head-on is why we both entered politics. #BCpoli #BCClimateVotes #CleanBC

Thanks so much for your support, Teagan! Climate action and meaningful reconciliation with Indigenous people are incredibly important to me. I hope I can bring my experience and knowledge on these issues to the @bcndp caucus!

It's a close race in the Oak Bay - Gordon Head riding. I would usually vote Green but I'm voting for Murray Rankin this time as he's done an excellent job in his past roles as leader of the federal NDP. Climate and reconciliation are important to him. #BCElection2020 #BCelxn2020

With colleagues @RachnaSinghNDP & Green Party leader @SoniaFurstenau I condemn racist behaviour & discrimination directed at Indigenous peoples in our province. Now is the time to come together & to support one another.

Health care has never been more important. Both the BC Liberals and the Green Party fail British Columbians when it comes to health care. The Green Party platform doesn't even mention hospitals, home care or Urgent and Primary Care Centres. Learn more:
