FESBC and the First Nations Forestry Council published a special report on Indigenous-led forest work in BC.

It highlights First Nations leadership in #ForestryBC, from wildfire risk reduction to harvesting to culturally-informed stewardship.

Team Canada, you made us proud. 🏉 An incredible journey ends with a historic silver medal at the Rugby World Cup. Hold your heads high, the whole nation is proud of you. 🇨🇦

It's #TestTuesday today. As students head back to school and new routines develop, make fire safety part of yours. Test you smoke alarms monthly to ensure they are working properly. Review and update your home fire escape plan if needed.

[Ravi Parmar @rparmar_BC]

We’re hearing reports of visible wildfire smoke in several areas of BC.

And we’re expecting increased smoke in the Lakes District and Cariboo regions.

Remember to monitor smoky conditions and take the proper precautions.

@TeddyJenner loving the broadcast - great to see you continuing to excel at your craft - and the perspective you bring as a former player and coach - great game so far @WorldLacrosse

Rick Doman: industry titan with 40+ years of #BCForestry experience. Someone who knows how to drive the sector.

With Trump’s economic attacks, we must expand our markets. Rick is the guy who knows how to do just that.

Welcome the new Chair of the Forest Innovation Investment.

News today that 5 Canadian national team hockey players were found "not guilty" legally is disappointing. Make no mistake, what happened was still very, very wrong. They were not innocent. They were in a position of power & influence and abused that. As men, we must learn.

I am so proud to work with @ubcokanagan, using their research to protect communities from wildfire.

With expansion of our early detection camera network, we are keeping more families safe by spotting wildfires before they happen.

Thinking of everyone in Manitoba facing the threat of wildfires.

My team is working to support the @MBGov, and we will be deploying additional crews and resources from @BCGovFireInfo to support their response and protect communities.

We’ve got your back.

[BC Wildfire Service @BCGovFireInfo]

Both crews are deployed to The Pas area. Yesterday, May 12, was their first day on the fireline. At this time, B.C. has not received further requests to support Manitoba; however, conversations with CIFFC are ongoing.

People who use drugs are not what is driving issues of public safety in B.C.; organized crime is profiting off the hardship of people facing addictions. To continually blame PWUD is misleading & harmful to finding overall solutions to the issue. Harm reduction saves lives.

As we've posted on this platform many times, Poilievre's treatment of journalists and his inability to answer their questions makes it impossible to vote PC in this federal election.

The Earthquake Early Warning system can provide seconds to tens-of-seconds of warning by detecting an earthquake immediately after it occurs ✔️

The system is for potentially harmful earthquakes. EQs with low levels of shaking will not produce alerts ❌
