Please note that as of September 21st (Writ Day), Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) cease to hold their positions.

Therefore, many regular activities conducted under the MLA’s name will be restricted during the election period. This includes:

· Official communications, correspondence, and meetings
· Event attendance and community outreach

However, Constituency Advisors (CAs) will continue to provide essential constituent services, such as:

· Referrals to government programs and services
· Assisting with communication between constituents and government agencies
· Providing information and other necessary resources
· However, we are unable to begin new casework.

If you need support with any of the above services, we are happy to assist you. Please feel free to reach out, and we will respond to your request as soon as possible.

Thank you for your understanding.

Exciting news for our communities!

I'm proud to share that the Province is stepping up to improve our resilience against climate change. With approximately $56 million allocated to 65 communities across British Columbia, we are investing in disaster risk resilience and climate-adaptation projects that will help protect our residents and environment.

As Minister Bowinn Ma stated, "Climate change is no longer a future concern; it's happening now." This funding will empower local governments to tackle vulnerabilities and make informed decisions for a sustainable future.

One notable project includes a significant investment of $1.2 million to support the Shishálh Nation ‘s Lower Crown Reservoir project in the Sunshine Coast Regional District

This initiative will enhance water security by capturing water from Chapman Creek, ensuring our communities have access to this vital resource.

Together, we can build a stronger, more resilient British Columbia. Let’s embrace these changes and work towards a sustainable future for all!
