Overdose is preventable, and the harm and risk associated with substance use can be greatly reduced. We must start by speaking openly about this issue and from the basic understanding that every life is precious and deserving of compassion and dignity. 💜💜💜

We live in a spectacularly beautiful province. We hope you get a chance to spend time with friends and family this BC Day weekend.

To BC's food workers, including UFCW 247 members across the province, thank you for all you do!

What a great time at Victoria Pride yesterday! We walked with the Victoria Labour Council and made lots of new friends and memories! Thanks to the engaged members who make attending pride an important priority for our local. These are always the funnest events of the year.
