This July marked the second anniversary since our government was sworn in, and I had the honour of becoming the first-First Nations woman to join the Executive Council of B.C. as Minister of Advanced Education, Skills, and Training. I often say it's important that we #PaddleTogether. Fact is, big systemic change doesn’t happen without teamwork. I signed up for this job because government should be focused on lifting people up, and not leaving people behind.
On this anniversary, I reflect on how amazing this journey has been, about all the doors we’ve knocked on during the campaigns, all the people we’ve connected with, and how thankful I am for the incredible privilege of serving my community.
I want to thank everyone who has empowered me to be their advocate for Vancouver-Mount Pleasant; as always, my team and I look forward to hearing from you, answering your questions and taking in your feedback. Don't hesitate to call us at 604-660-0707, email us, visit our community office or visit our community booth at the Dyke March or Mural Street Festival!
I look forward to the upcoming Powell Street Festival (Sat Aug 3), Dyke March (Sat Aug 3) and the Vancouver Pride Parade (Sun Aug 4)!
