Today, I stand with workers across British Columbia.

#NationalDayofMourning

I remember and honour workers killed or injured in the line of work, as well as those who continue to suffer from illness or trauma caused by their work.

Despite the rain, many local families joined the 'Poetry in Motion: A Multilingual Walk' in Stoney Creek, sharing diverse languages and poems, with a Traditional Welcome by Indigenous Elders!

Thanks to Fraser Health, Burnaby Public Library Connect Fest for bringing us together! 📚🌿

As a former foreign temporary worker, I hope we are always considerate when discussing issues related to TFWs and avoid unintentional discrimination.

Let’s be clear that the focus shouldn’t be on TFWs or TFWs vs. Canadians. Many TFWs have experienced mistreatment by employers.

Kitimat now has 44 new homes for women and children leaving violence. The building also has a new 24-hour child care centre with 60 spaces.

We are building more housing across BC, including more spaces for women and children in vulnerable situations.

Affordable, quality child care is not a nice-to-have; it’s a must-have to make our community more equitable for all, just like our right to #bced !

Thanks for the inspiring pre-conference World Forum Foundation! Amazing to see how united we are in advocating for #ChildCareBC $10aDay Child Care!

I completely agree with @katrinacBurnaby that it's time to move #cdnchildcare away from the market. We in the childcare movement have been urging this for years but moving it to a public system needs to be done through public policy.

Great summary!
