Heading to Kamloops this morning to celebrate the expansion of the Highland Valley Copper mine.

This is a project of national significance that is going to provide thousands of well-paying jobs for British Columbians as our province becomes the economic engine of Canada.

Opinion: Why Canada’s increased defence spending matters in B.C. https://t.co/UZBgeGpbxe

Trade. Quantum. Critical Minerals. Defence.

These are among the real results we are seeing from the 🇬🇧🇨🇦 Prime Ministers’ meeting that will make a material difference to the economies and people of both countries.

We are pushing for peace in Sudan.

This is one of the greatest humanitarian crises of our time and millions of people are suffering.

Sudan needs a ceasefire and a political process that empowers the Sudanese people to shape their own future.

The London Sudan Conference is a step in that direction.

Very sad to hear the news today of John Horgan's passing. I'll never forget leaving his office from one such meeting and the Premier took the time to shake my hand and ask me about being a Canadian working for the Brits. A kind man who dedicated himself to public service. ❤️

[Tom Codrington @TomCodringtonUK]

John Horgan was an irrepressible Premier who always knew how to make people smile. He leaves behind a legacy of dedicated public service - and happy memories of impromptu cricket matches whenever the Brits came to his office. My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

Did you know that the maritime sector is responsible for nearly 3% of global emissions? 🚢🌎

That's what makes decarbonising ships and ports and creating green shipping corridors so critical on our path to #netzero.

But these are not easy problems to solve. 👇

After two successful days in London, our ESG-I Policy Mission is coming to a close. This was a chance to discuss how to include Indigenous values in #ESG, from 🇬🇧🇨🇦 government engagement and working with industry to our shared critical minerals strategies.

[UK in Canada 🇬🇧🇨🇦 @UKinCanada]

For the first time ever, @UKinCanada is hosting an ESG-I Policy Mission to bring Indigenous Thought Leaders from 🇨🇦 to the 🇬🇧.

This mission will open a dialogue on connecting Indigenous Values with the UK's financial center.

But what does that mean? (a thread)

[Tom Codrington @TomCodringtonUK]

I've been reflecting on the work of the UK in BC and my favourite initiatives so far as I pass the one year mark since arriving in Vancouver:

🌎 Making the international local
🌱 Helping local to go global
🤝 Making connections while making a difference

No. 10 Downing St still flying the Ukrainian flag one year on. Here in Ottawa, we are showing our solidarity with Ukraine by lighting up the High Commission in the colours of the flag. We #StandWithUkraine

[Tom Codrington @TomCodringtonUK]

Sanctions on Russia. Military & humanitarian aid. Welcoming refugees. Training Ukrainian soldiers. Advocating around the world. Planning ahead for reconstruction. This is what it means to #StandWithUkraine. And 🇨🇦 & 🇬🇧 will keep it up for as long as it takes.

"These are so special that I've never actually held one before"

What a privilege to join UK Wing Commander Adrian Mellors in presenting 98-year-old Joyce McKay with her WWII War Medal for her service in the UK with the WAAF. A truly humbling experience.
