Motor Vehicle Incident on the #Taylor Bridge, Assessment in progress. #NorthPeace #FortStJohn #BCHWY97

Fort St John saw this YEARS ago. It’s unfortunate that it wasn’t dealt with then. We got bandaids at best. Now the rest of BC is feeling the pain we have been. #YXJ #PRRD @DoctorsOfBC @northernhealth_

Congrats to BC’s Prophet River First Nation for this big news: they’re building a data centre that will take advantage of the cool northern climate and Fort St. John’s crucial energy and telecom infrastructure. newswire.ca/news-releases/…

@mack4change @Bzubyk It’s been this way for many years in NEBC - NO one has been listening.

Some shifts in Northern BC have zero ambulances available. This is a CRISIS. The NDP’s failure to fund emergency services is putting lives at risk. Ambulances are 100% a provincial responsibility. Thank you to MLA Sharon Hartwell for exposing this. BC’s ambulance service must be valued, not abandoned.

@TrevHal Congratulations Trevor!

Thank you Surrey-White Rock. There's no shortage of work to do, and I'm excited for what's ahead! #bcpoli #surrey #whiterock

@markstrahl My deepest condolences to the family.

Statement from the Strahl Family on the Passing of the Honourable Chuck Strahl, P.C. It is with great sadness and broken hearts that we share the news of the passing of our Dad, Chuck Strahl on August 13, 2024 in Chilliwack, BC after a courageous and exemplary battle with mesothelioma. Born to Bill and Martha Strahl on February 25, 1957 in New Westminster, BC, Dad grew up in a logging family. They moved around rural BC in his early years, eventually settling in the community of Ryder Lake in Chilliwack when he was 10 years old, where Dad met the love of his life, Debby Bateman. They were married in 1975, and their relationship was a beautiful example of love, honour, commitment and companionship for nearly 50 years. Dad loved Mom with all his heart, and he made sure that his kids and everyone he met in his life knew it and saw it. They perfectly complimented each other and were hopelessly devoted to one another. They were blessed with four children: Karina, Mark, Loni and Kyla, who in turn blessed Mom and Dad with 13 grandchildren. Dad was so proud of his wife, children, their spouses, and his grandchildren and considered them his greatest joy and legacy. Dad’s deep and abiding Christian faith was at the heart of who he was. He and Mom were members of the Chilliwack Alliance Church, where they grew in their faith together and served in many different leadership roles. Dad lived out his values in every aspect of his life, and was known for his honour, integrity and faithfulness to all those who knew him. In 1993, Dad changed careers, running for public office and becoming a legislator after many years in the family logging business. He was elected as a federal Member of Parliament in six consecutive elections, serving the people of Chilliwack and the surrounding area for 18 years. He was a gifted communicator and leader. He served in a variety of prominent positions and was appointed to Cabinet in 2006, where he served in the roles of Minister of Agriculture, Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs and Minister of Transport until his retirement from politics in 2011. While he was a very successful politician with many accomplishments during his time in office, he didn’t let his job define who he was. He never lost sight of what was truly important: his faith, his family and his friends. Our loss is deep and profound. Our Dad was our best friend, our greatest defender, our biggest promoter and our rock. We will share more details on his celebration of life in the days ahead and thank you for all of the love and sympathy that has already been shared. Sincerely,   Karina, Mark, Loni and Kyla

Healthcare is a provincial responsibility that hits the heart of community-something not seen by those not in that community. Program audits in Health Authorities are needed to see the holes in service delivery, successes and failures for #UBCM Muni’s to work together. #BCPoli

@Adriandix @Dave_Eby @BCNDP Will this hospital have closures? #BCPoli Our #healthcare is #broken How long will it take to #fixit ? link.vancouversun.com/click/36130574…

@adriandix come on! How long does it take? #BCPoli

@nspector4 Wasn’t precedence already set years ago with a mining company being compensated for the creation of a park? If memory serves me it may have been Wells Grey Park?

On Tuesday, June 11 at 7:00 am, the Cecil Lake (103) Rd will be closed from the 237 - Jack Rd to the Cutoff Ave (246A). Detour via the Siphon Crk (184) Rd to the 248 Rd - Siphon Crk Cutoff Rd. Works will be completed by June 12 at 6:00 pm. #YXJ #FortStJohn #ConeZone #PeaceRegion

@ThomasHStahl @Pam_Alexis_ @BruceBanman All the Peace gets is an unceremonious reference to its Ag industry. When the committee came up to present on its findings and recommendations on Ag in BC. The Chair was a PhD in Agrology (or something like that) and didn’t know what a Hutterite was.😳 How does that happen?

@Pam_Alexis_ @BruceBanman Would you share what you’ve done as AG minister that’s so productive for the northern part of BC to promote agriculture. Seems the south gets all the attention…

Shocking, to say the least! It's shocking to hear one of John Rustad's top advisers talk about a huge swath of Abbotsford, including farmers in @BruceBanman 's riding. The region produces billions in agricultural products for our province. 🧺🌾🐄 🧑🏻‍🌾

@BasedHarun @Daniel_Davies Two different levels of government.

@lori_ackerman @Daniel_Davies Oh. You could have fixed a lot of welds for the money you spent buying the Condill. How’s that coming?

The last notice for maintenance was a month ago. There are more welds on this bridge than original decking. We were promised a bridge YEARS ago, we have had the technical work and consultation done, it just needs the will of the Province. #BCPoli #FortStJohn @Daniel_Davies

@BasedHarun @Daniel_Davies The residents of the BC Peace as well as all the local governments (Muni’s and RD) in particular the District of Taylor whose council agreed to twinning the highway through their community when the bridge is built.

@lori_ackerman @Daniel_Davies Who is we?

@MBernardoNews Thank you for capturing this. Sadly, too many are running for elected official roles that they have yet to really learn about. It is sad when there is so much to celebrate in communities.

UPDATE: #Kamloops Mayor Reid Hamer-Jackson will seek legal advice after the rest of council voted to remove him as official spokesperson for the city. He says he's not sure court action is necessary. "The last thing I want is taxpayers to be paying for legal fees." #kampoli
