Congratulations to Carey Price @CP0031 on his well-deserved induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame this weekend.

From Anahim Lake to the very pinnacle of the sport, Carey has represented himself and community with humility, determination and a quest for excellence.

He’s inspired countless young athletes by showing that no matter where you come from, extraordinary things are possible.

This recognition belongs not only to Carey, but also to the family who supported him every step of the way.

A special thank you to his parents, Lynda and Jerry Price, whose love, guidance, and sacrifices helped shape one of hockey's all-time greats.

As someone who is proud to represent Anahim Lake and the surrounding communities, I know this honour will be celebrated across the Cariboo and throughout British Columbia.

Congratulations, Carey. Your community is proud of you, your province is proud of you, and your place in hockey history is forever secure.

Today, we honour the Indigenous veterans who answered the call to serve our country with courage and sacrifice.

We remember their contributions, recognize their service, and thank them for helping shape a stronger Canada.

Today, we join communities across British Columbia in celebrating Diwali and Bandi Chhor Divas.

May the light of Diwali bring hope and prosperity, and may the spirit of Bandi Chhor Divas inspire freedom, compassion, and service to others.

Wishing everyone a joyful and meaningful celebration.

Thinking about everyone on the North Island and across the coast who has been hit hard by this storm, especially the families in Zeballos who had to leave their homes.

Another storm is coming through this evening, with more wind and rain on the way.

Please take the warnings seriously, stay away from fast-moving water and downed lines, and check on your neighbours.

To the BC Hydro crews, ferry workers, and first responders working through this, thank you.

British Columbia is open for business, ready to build, and set to supercharge our economy.

Today's federal budget recognizes the tremendous potential across our energy, ports, mining, forestry, and trade sectors, from Roberts Bank Terminal 2 and LNG Canada Phase 2 to the North Coast Transmission Line and George Massey Crossing.

Our incoming government is ready to work with Ottawa, First Nations, communities and industry to get these projects moving responsibly and make sure British Columbians share in the benefits.

When B.C. succeeds, Canada succeeds. 🇨🇦
