Day 13 of the Campaign | Community Visit Tour

The tour begins!

Over the next month, I'll be travelling across British Columbia to visit communities from the Peace Region to Vancouver Island, the Kootenays, the North Coast, the Interior, and the Lower Mainland.

If I'm coming to your community and you're in town, I'd love the opportunity to meet you.

I know summer is a busy time. Many of us are taking family vacations, spending time on the land, or getting away for a few days. But if our paths cross while I'm in your area, I hope you'll stop by, introduce yourself, and join me for a meet and greet. I'd love the opportunity to share more about who I am, my platform, and my vision for MNBC, while hearing what matters most to you and what you would like to see for the future of our Nation.

One of the biggest reasons I'm making this tour is because I want citizens from every corner of British Columbia, across all Chartered Communities, to know they matter. I want every citizen to feel seen, heard, and valued. The future of our Nation should be shaped by the voices of the people who make it strong, and every community deserves to be part of that conversation.

Over the past week, I've reached out to the Presidents of every Chartered Community to let them know when I'll be in their region. I sincerely appreciate everyone who has taken the time to respond. As I mentioned in a previous video, our Chartered Community leaders are volunteers. They dedicate countless hours throughout the year serving their communities, and summer is often one of the few opportunities they have to spend time with family, regroup, and recharge. I truly appreciate everything they do, and I thank them for taking the time to connect with me.

Over the coming days, I'll be sharing the details for each stop, including the exact locations and meet-and-greet information as they're confirmed.

I hope to see many of you along the way.

Our Nation. Our Voice. Our Communities.
