The Gukwdzi stands as a powerful symbol of cultural resilience, identity and self-determination. A space for ceremony, gathering and decision-making., it will support the preservation of traditions and strengthen community connections.
Congratulations to the Gwa’sala-‘Nakwaxda’xw Nations’ leadership committee and community members on the official opening of the Gukwdzi (Big House) in T’sulquate, near Port Hardy, this week.
The Red Chris mine expansion is a very big deal. The mine is a major economic driver, and the construction stage will support additional jobs across the trades and industry. #bcpoli

🚨BIG housing news for British Columbians🚨
Today, BC and the federal government announced that we’re investing more than $5 billion in our province’s infrastructure.
We’re going to use that $ to build more housing that people can actually afford.
BC leads all 10 provinces in GDP per capita growth since 2017, and Vancouver hosting #FIFAWorldCup2026 will build on that momentum:
1M+ new visitors, $1 Billion in revenue, and 18,000+ jobs by 2031.
These are real economic wins for B.C. families and businesses.⚽️🍁

.@BCGovNews , @GCIndigenous , and the five First Nations of the @Temexw_Treaty (TTA) are in the final stages of 30+ years of treaty negotiations! The five First Nations are Beecher Bay (SC’IȺNEW̱), Malahat, Snaw-naw-as, Songhees and T'Souke.
Join us at an upcoming open house to find out more from the treaty partners (B.C., Canada and TTA) about what the proposed treaties mean, continue dialogue about the status of treaty negotiations, and view maps of proposed treaty lands.
The first policy of the new BC Conservative leader isn’t support for British Columbians, it’s finding ways to support Alberta’s separatist movement. That’s a choice.
Thank you to President Charles McCarthy and the Yuułuʔiłʔatḥ Government for hosting us on your beautiful territory. We're looking forward to continuing to work with our treaty partners on shared priorities. We’re so much stronger together.
I am so grateful to have spent some meaningful time connecting with treaty partners in the Alliance of BC Modern Treaty Nations, alongside Premier @Dave_Eby , several of my fellow ministers and senior officials this week at the 2026 Premier’s Forum.
Premier Eby in Burnaby this AM to talk affordable housing. Congratulates Kerry-Lynne Findlay but says BC Conservatives will re-ignite BC housing crisis by vowing to dump NDP policies such as the spec tax and Air BnB restrictions. Battle lines already being laid out.
June is National Indigenous History Month - a time to honour the cultures and leadership of First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples.
This month we reflect on the ongoing work of reconciliation and recognize the strength and resilience of Indigenous peoples.
Even Conservative MLAs don't support Kerry-Lynne Findlay and her Trump-style politics.
She attacked the family of Conservative MLA Peter Milobar just because they're Indigenous.
She's the most extreme, divisive party leader in BC history. No wonder pro-Trump MLAs all back her.
