Here is the photo from that day.

at the Legislature in Victoria. Our eyes met and he yelled "HEY GAILUS GET OFF OF MY LAWN.." He erupted in laughter and so did I. Smart, tough and funny. A great man, gone too soon. #bcpoli

BREAKING: Former BC Premier John Horgan has died. I'm very sad to hear it. He was a strong, principled leader with a great sense of humour. I'll never forget the day he became Premier, we were preparing for a live broadcast and I spotted him standing at the open window...

[IUOE Local 115 @iuoe115]

Today we lost a true friend and ally. RIP Brother Horgan.✊

“The lack of enforcement on certification is really problematic and needs to be fixed. When people look up at the cranes on the skyline, they expect a level of professionalism and skill that may not be there,” said Josh Towsley, Asst. Biz Mngr IUOE 115 https://t.co/QZzK33b4lY

“We can’t have three incidents in a month … it’s time we got together as an industry and made sure that we take the steps so that workers and the public have confidence in our industry again,” Josh Towsley, Asst. Business Manager https://t.co/EPqwbfXA9n #iuoe #risebaove115

IUOE Local 115, Assistant Business Manager, Josh Towsley is worried that without stiff regulations BC we will continue to be a leader in tower crane incidents. #operatingengineer #iuoe #riseabove115 #crane #bcconstruction #bcpoli #cdnpoli

Today was a monumental day for the membership and for the province. Not only did we get some great return and some added capital to our pension fund through the sale of the Garden Court and Tri-Branch Housing Co-ops...(1/2)

Premier Eby makes 1st announcement through Rental Fund at Garden Court housing co-op in Coquitlam.

This announcement today is the result of the collaborative effort of IUOE Local 115 pension plan trustees and our commitment to preserving affordable housing in BC. #bcpoli

"The recent crane incidents in Metro Vancouver serve as a wake-up call...The state of health and safety around tower cranes isn't where it needs to be," says Josh Towsley, Asst. Biz Mngr. #bcconstruction #iuoe #craneoperator #heo #bcpoli #bcbuildingtrades

Regulation that provides mandatory minimum training is what is needed to protect workers and the public.

[IUOE Local 115 @iuoe115]

Crane contractors who do that work should be licenced and there should be minimum training for people that do that work..and on the tower crane side we are working with SkilledTradesBC to make it mandatory to be certified as a tower crane op. (3/3) #bcpoli #iuoe #craneoperator

CSCU CEO @mikeschilling79 interviewed by @VancouverSun on the RESP gap.
“Governments offer incentives for parents to open RESPs, but low-income families stretched to save any money are less likely to do so, which is an inequity that needs to be resolved”

“Right now, for buyers purchasing properties under $1 million, it’s often cheaper to get an insured mortgage rate and pay CMHC insurance than to get uninsured rates,” says @mikeschilling79 CSCU CEO.
