When it comes to #BCWildfire, nighttime operations have been a game changer.

The work of Coulson Aviation is nothing short of incredible. Their aerial night vision tech is part of why initial attack response has been so effective.

This is what a made-in-BC company looks like.

Turning your back on First Nations leads to instability, conflict, and lost jobs.

That’s the Conservative playbook. We’re building partnerships with the ’Namgis, moving fibre, and giving workers certainty. No way we’re going back.

Pleased to have had the Interfor team here at the legislature to meet with the Premier to discuss the future of forestry and how we can work together to build a better sector.

Big or small, our government is here to support industry and workers.

At the First Nations Forestry Council Conference today

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. First Nations are driving forestry.

We are working with First Nations through true and powerful partnerships to deliver shared economic prosperity.

Real pride. Real partnership. Big smiles with Chief and Council of the Lake Babine First Nation, as we sign the expansion of their Woodland License.

This is what true reconciliation looks like. It’s a powerful thing, and an honour to be part of.

We sat down with Fort Nelson First Nation, presenting a Forest Tenure Opportunity Agreement and signing a forest license to cut for wildfire harvest. 

This marks the first load of logs to cross the Dechita log scales in Fort Nelson.

It’s official, the first year of Canada's first ever wildfire diploma is complete.

Pleased to see the completion of TRU’s new program, helping build the future of BC's wildfire experts.

I’ve said it before: our role during wildfire season is to stay informed, prepared, and #FireSmart.

Things can change in an instant, but that doesn’t mean we can’t be ready in advance. This is how we play our part, in BC’s world-class wildfire efforts.

In 2025 alone, 231 million tree seedlings were planted in BC.

Every step in the process involves real planning—choosing the right trees to thrive in the right places. With a focus on wildfire recovery.

Ensuring the land base stays strong for generations.

The BCTS Task Force Report is meeting the moment.

A challenging time for our forest sector, one that calls for boldness and leadership.

The report is the first step. Next comes action.

A  specialized  glulam manufacturing facility at Spearhead.

They’ve invested $60m in this expansion, with the Province providing $7.5m in funding. Construction is underway.

Had the chance to meet with Tolko this morning at their HQ, where we went over the challenges and threats facing the forest sector.

Thank you to Al in particular for giving me a real glimpse into Tolko's family-first history.

Chief Sellers and Williams Lake First Nation: active stewards of their forests, partners of BC Gov, and producers of an Oscar-nominated film. It was such an honour to discuss with them at length, the future of their Nation.

Thank you to Chief, Council, and staff.

An honour to join Chief Adams, and be part of this historic partnership with Lake Babine Nation.

This is a vision, of the future of forestry. Where Nations lead the management of their forests, working with industry and govt in the process.

Forestry relies on the businesses investing in this work.

At the Western Forestry Contractors Conference, we’re sitting alongside the people on the ground, investing in wildfire risk reduction, forest health, and rehabilitation.

Chief Nelson and Quatsino First Nation: weaving cultural & stewardship priorities into forestry partnerships.

We’ve seen their active involvement in the sector continue to increase, as they work with industry & govt partners, and strengthen the North Island economy.

A community forest is powerful. A tool of stewardship, connecting communities to their forests, driving local economies & creating jobs.
 
We’re expanding 3 community forests in the Prince George TSA: Vanderhoof, Fort St. James & Fraser Lake.

From my conversation with Ka:'yu:'k't'h'/Che:k:tles7et'h' First Nation on the road.

Discussing the shared path for our forests is right at the root, of working together. Face-to-face, ensuring visions are aligned.

Partnerships to restore confidence to the sector.

Bill 14, the Forest Statutes Amendment Act just received Royal Assent.

The means it’s time for our Bill to come into action.

Moving fibre faster, creating more opportunities for workers and contractors, and getting local logs to local mills.

Corporate interests have guided this industry for too long. Nobody—from environmentalists to forestry companies—is happy with what’s happening with British Columbia’s forests. There is a cost to this conflict.
