Delighted to welcome post-secondary Minister @jessieksunner.bsky.social to UBC Okanagan today and introduce her to faculty, students & staff part of our successful new Master of Biotechnology program + School of Nursing. Grateful for the visit and the strong support from the Province of BC!
Throughout BC, streets will fill with community spirit and colour as Sikh families and friends gather to celebrate Vaisakhi.
Vaisakhi marks the founding of the Khalsa in 1699 – and remains one of the most sacred and joyous days in the Sikh calendar.

This week marks Creative Industries Week, celebrating the people and industries that help tell BC’s story to the world.
To celebrate, I recently visited the set for Allegiance, a powerful show showcasing Surrey, its diversity, strength, and real stories.
I highly recommend! 🎬
Donald Trump’s loss is British Columbia’s gain.
Thousands of US doctors, nurses and health professionals are applying to work in BC, because our system is based on the needs of the patient — not their ability to pay.
BC now has more doctors per person than anywhere else in Canada.
April is Sikh Heritage Month, a time to honour the history, resilience, and contributions of Sikh communities across Canada.
Rooted in the principles of seva, sarbat da bhala, and standing up for justice, Sikh values have shaped generations through service to community.
Happy Sikh Heritage Month!
Happy Vaisakhi! 🧡
A day full of seva, sangat, community, and so much pride in who we are. Always one of the best days of the year, and so proud to share it with my @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social colleagues.
With major projects across B.C. in clean energy, critical minerals, and construction, we’re making sure people in B.C. are first in line for those jobs with 5,000 new trades training seats, and the biggest commitment B.C. has ever made in the trades.Â

Barefoot, pregnant, and in the @bclegislature.bsky.social where we belong!!
Another historic first for BC: Not one, but TWO Cabinet Ministers simultaneously expecting. 🤰🤰 @jessieksunner.bsky.social
Last week, we announced 256 new skilled trades training seats at Okanagan College & more than 1,000 across the region.
These new seats will help students train for good-paying careers close to home, while strengthening our workforce & growing BC’s economy.
That’s what Look West is all about.

B.C.'s attorney general and advocates for victims of intimate partner violence (IPV) are saying that a Supreme Court of Canada judgment that recognizes IPV as a basis for civil lawsuits is historic.
