Back in Powell River-Sunshine Coast after a busy and productive UBCM last week in Vancouver. As the Minister for Water, Land and Resource Stewardship, getting to speak at UBCM’s panel for watershed security was both important and meaningful.

The John Horgan Dam. It’s more than a name - it’s a symbol of John’s leadership.

We need to stand up for human rights, not give ground to those who would take them away.
