BC Green Caucus

06/23/2026

Tonight!

From the Public Transit Alliance of BC: Where’s the bus? For many people, it’s hard to get around BC by public transit. There’s a bewildering mix of public, private, health and community services, no integrated timetable, and often no service at all.

I'll be speaking at this event, June 23 at 6pm along with tranist experts from across BC. Register at the link in my bio or at https://shorturl.at/H3pmV

If you cannot attend, the event will be recorded for everyone who registers.

Statement from the BC Green Caucus on the housing and infrastructure announcement from Prime Minister Mark Carney and Premier David Eby today:

“We need assurances this fall that public funds won’t simply subsidize developer profits, that homebuyers won’t face price gouging, and that deeply affordable and social housing will be created and protected. With the Community Housing Fund recently abandoned in BC, it’s fair to ask what broader strategy will ensure housing is treated as a home first, not a financial asset,” said Rob Botterell, MLA for Saanich North and the Islands.

“It’s great to hear the federal government is funding transit in BC. Now will the BC NDP do what it promised, and give the Sea to Sky corridor the public transit they’ve been asking for for decades?” said Jeremy Valeriote, MLA for West Vancouver- Sea to Sky.

Going to the cottage? 🌲😎 If you received a invitation letter for your cottage or second residence, you still need to complete a questionnaire for that location.

On your census questionnaire, enter “0” as the number of persons living at the address for this secondary location. Then, when prompted, choose the appropriate description of the address using one of the radio buttons, enter your name and telephone number, and submit the questionnaire!

While doing so, why not listen to our “Loons and Mellow Tunes” playlist as the perfect soundtrack to help you breeze through your census questionnaire? 😉🎶☀️

After BC's Energy Minister announced that his government is considering building Site E, a hydro dam on the same river as Site C, Canadian Press asked MLA Jeremy Valeriote for the BC Greens' reaction.

You can search for the full article online, but here are the highlights:

🍃The BC Greens like renewable energy
🍁Generating enough electricity for energy independence is important
☀Megadams don't make a lot of sense when we know that distributed renewables are feasible and economical
⚡We shouldn't use taxpayer money to subsidize fracking and gas exports

Clean energy, healthy forests, electoral reform… Our BC Green MLAs know these reports even with their eyes closed. 🪄

But months after these reports were released, the BC NDP have done very little to implement these evidence-based solutions.

As the Spring Legislative Session wrapped up (and the Legislative Interns concluded their Caucus placement), MLA Botterell and MLA Valeriote took a moment to give credit to the people who really get things done in the B.C. Legislature.

We’ll miss you interns! (Nonpartisanly)
