Mr. Artan would be welcomed and celebrated in British Columbia for what he’s overcome and where he is today. Let’s have him referee in Vancouver.
Somali referee Omar Artan, who was set to be the first from his country to officiate at the World Cup finals, has been denied entry to the United States.

In case you haven’t heard, construction is underway for SFU’s new school of medicine in Surrey, welcoming its first cohort of students this August.
This milestone will train more doctors locally and marks the first new medical school in Western Canada in nearly 60 years!

Yesterday, we launched B.C.’s new anti-racism action plan, addressing systemic barriers and improving access for Indigenous and racialized communities in healthcare, education, public safety, and more. This is a big step as we continue to work toward a more equitable B.C for all.

Kicked off the season with Whalley Little League, a community staple that has been bringing youth in Surrey together since 1956. It’s always great to see young players out, families supporting, and that local energy in full swing. Here’s to a fun and exciting season ahead! ⚾️

Here's to opening another Urgent and Primary Care Centre in Surrey!
Designed to serve up to 57,000 people each year, and help ease pressure on local emergency rooms.

#EidMubarak from all of us @BCLegislature. We celebrated a little late this year because the Legislature was not in session on March 19th, #EidAlFitr. It was my honour to host this event over lunch hour today with @Dave_Eby, @TrevHal, @JeremyValeriote and @amnashahbc. Thank you to everyone who came out!
