Remembrance Day: Community shares stories of service delta-optimist.com/in-the-communi…

All veterans share a selfless commitment to serve Canada. On #RemembranceDay, we honour their service and sacrifice, pay tribute to those who gave their lives in duty, and remember those who never came home.

Oh! you who sleep in Flanders Fields,
Sleep sweet – to rise anew!
We caught the torch you threw
And holding high, we keep the Faith
With All who died.

We cherish, too, the Poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led;
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never e to the red
Of the flower that blooms above the dead
In Flanders Fields.

And now the Torch and Poppy Red
We wear in honor of our dead.
Fear not that ye have died for naught;
We’ll teach the lesson that ye wrought
In Flanders Fields. - Moina Michael (1918)

Today’s news that Millar Western is curtailing Quesnel River Pulp indefinitely is a hard blow for Quesnel and for the workers and families who depend on that mill. Many of them have been off the job since September, holding out hope that they would be called back and my thoughts are with them and with everyone in the community whose livelihood runs through that operation.

Our government was elected to reverse the trend of the last nine years. Getting more fibre on the trucks and getting permits approved in months rather than years is how the mills we still have keep running, and how a mill that has gone quiet gets a reason to start back up. Millar Western has left the door open to a restart and we will be working with the company and the City of Quesnel to understand what it would take to walk through it.

There’s no overnight fix. The people of Quesnel will soon have a government that understands what forestry means to this province, that will make sure the supports are there for the workers affected and that is going to get to work on building the sector back.

Today, we honour the Indigenous veterans who answered the call to serve our country with courage and sacrifice.

We remember their contributions, recognize their service, and thank them for helping shape a stronger Canada.

Today, we join communities across British Columbia in celebrating Diwali and Bandi Chhor Divas.

May the light of Diwali bring hope and prosperity, and may the spirit of Bandi Chhor Divas inspire freedom, compassion, and service to others.

Wishing everyone a joyful and

When BC succeeds, Canada succeeds.

Today's federal budget proves British Columbia is critical to Canada’s economic success. BC is open for business, and ready to build in partnership to supercharge our economy.

I welcome Ottawa's ambition and look forward to working closely ney to create good-paying jobs, attract investment and build lasting prosperity for BC.

My full statement below.

British Columbia is open for business, ready to build, and set to supercharge our economy.

Today's federal budget recognizes the tremendous potential across our energy, ports, mining, forestry, and trade sectors, from Roberts Bank Terminal 2 and LNG Canada Phase 2 to the North and George Massey Crossing.

Our incoming government is ready to work with Ottawa, First Nations, communities and industry to get these projects moving responsibly and make sure British Columbians share in the benefits.

When B.C. succeeds, Canada succeeds. 🇨🇦

My heart goes out to the family, loved ones and the entire Nuxalk Nation community affected by this terrible tragedy. The news from Bella Coola is heartbreaking, and at a time of such profound grief and uncertainty, my thoughts are with everyone who is hurting and with all those supporting one another through an incredibly difficult day.

There are no words that can ease the pain of a tragedy like this. I hope the family and the community feel the care, compassion, and support of people across British Columbia as they grieve.

Today, our newly elected @Conservative_BC caucus came together in Victoria for the first time.

The energy in the room was incredible, matched by a shared determination to get to work. British Columbians have placed their trust in us, and with that comes an extraordinary e commitments, and we're going to keep them. Our focus now is on working together, delivering results and building a stronger British Columbia for everyone.

Let's get to work!

Proud to stand with Premier @LDoerkson and this incredible team. The energy in that room says it all.

Excited for the leadership ahead and ready to get to work for British Columbians.
