May is #ChildCareMonth and I’m in #osoyoos and #oliverBC connecting with community.

@RachnaSinghNDP & @rr4mla and I announced a $4.1M expansion of our seamless day kindergarten pilots.

Great for kids, game changing for families! 👇🏻

People in our province continue to face inequality, violence and discrimination on a daily basis because of their gender or sexuality. We all must continue to call out discrimination and violence when we see it and support our 2SLGBTQIA+ neighbours. https://t.co/PZDDbANZc1

[BC Government News @BCGovNews]

When gender information is collected by government, people will have more choices to select a gender that reflects who they are. We’re working towards a more inclusive BC, where all people see themselves recognized & represented in government services. https://t.co/XSKmh84Yxg

This is such an important issue to talk about - many family or friend caregivers are working full time, have kids and need to care for aging parents. Respite is so important - please reach out for support. You aren't alone! It's okay to ask for help. #bekindtoyourself
