We’re keeping people safe from future pandemics and other urgent health challenges by investing $33M into Canada’s Immuno-Engineering and Biomanufacturing Hub at @UBC.
This is part of our #LookWest strategy to double life sciences jobs to 40,000 in B.C.

Grateful for the hard work of every first responder, City staffer, emergency management professional, volunteer, and local leader who has stepped up to help people through this #BCFlood event. Your dedication and teamwork are making a crucial difference. 💜
This is diversification work in action.
Diverting wood we used to send to the US, to our new partnerships in the UK and Europe, and Asia.
The partnerships we’ve been forging are creating new avenues for BC wood to hit the market.

Inside the house, a very awkward scene is playing out with @JohnRustad4BC in leaders chair, isolated, while @TrevHal is nominally interim leader but won’t be recognized as such by the @rajchouhan.
It’s like a coup, stalled mid way.
Mayor Baker of Grand Forks is flying himself to Ottawa alongside Interfor, to help get the message across:
Softwood lumber must be a priority of the federal government. Communities all across BC depend on forestry. If mills go down, the community follows.

Forestry is at the heart of BC.
It’s about people and place, the workers and the communities who built this sector. It’s about First Nations who’ve stewarded these lands for generations.
Forestry built our past. Together, we’ll build its future.

When we evacuate, @BCGovFireInfo run into the danger. And in the Northeast, they fight some of the most dangerous wildfires in the world.
Here at the Fort Nelson Initial Attack base, about to embark on an aerial tour of local wildfire activity both past and present.

Through the BC Manufacturing Jobs Fund, we have just announced $11M to go toward forestry-sector capital projects across BC.
This will be split between four manufacturers, with up to $7.5M going to Spearhead Timberworks near Nelson.

I’m celebrating the 5th aniv. of BCs #Declaration Act. It mandated gov to work in consultation and co-operation with indigenous people. Getting to shared decision making is key for our shared future and prosperity.
Some important developments on the Chilcotin slide.
We're seeing the first images from moments ago of water getting through the slide.
We'll be getting more detailed information in the coming hours. #bcpoli@BowinnMa
