“I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind.” ~~ John G. Diefenbaker

When voters head to the polls for the next provincial election, the riding of Kelowna-Mission will be strongly represented with our Made in BC 5 Point plan ~~ Trevor Bolin, BC Conservative Party leader



MLA Steve Thomson
FORT ST. JOHN (12 / 09 / 19): 

Yesterday it was announced that after serving the people of Kelowna- Mission for the past 10 years, BC Liberal MLA Steve Thomson will not be running in next election.



“We are taking this opportunity to thank Mr. Thomson; not only for his service as an MLA to the people of Kelowna - Mission, but also as a former President of the BC Chamber of Commerce, Executive Director of the BC Agriculture Council, as well as the General Manager of the BC Fruit Growers Association and BC Milk Producers Association”, said BC Conservative leader Trevor Bolin.



Bolin continued, “In the most recent survey (by Insights West), support for the BC Conservatives has continued the trend of increased backing by decided voters, and now sits at 20 percent in the Interior of the province”.

“In approximately 22 months, voters in British Columbians will head to the polls for the next provincial election, and the riding of Kelowna - Mission will be strongly represented with our Made in BC 5 Point Plan”.

“Forestry workers, resource workers, those in ranching and agriculture, and every other hard-working British Columbian deserve better than they have been receiving under the current or previous government”.



“We’ll be there to provide it!”, Bolin concluded.

“4.5 million hectares of forest lands have burned since 2023, and the best they can do is point to a 90-hectare block being salvaged?” ~~ Ward Stamer, Kamloops-North Thompson MLA

Today, BC NDP forest Minister Ravi Parmar made this pronouncement; ‘Removing red tape has sped up permitting, allowing for more wood to be salvaged, quicker’. 4.5 million hectares of forest lands have burned since 2023, and the best they can do is point to a 90-hectare block?    ~~ BC Conservative Forests Critic Ward Stamer While acknowledging the NDP government has recognized improvements were needed in permitting and accessing burnt fibre in a timely fashion, the reality is, they are barely making a dent in the problem.  This government's recognition that only seven percent of pulp mill fibre came from burnt timber in 2024-25, quite simply put, is a failure. And the recent announcement, just three weeks ago, that the Crofton Pulp Mill would be permanently closing, is proof of that.     Instead of Premier David Eby’s government addressing core issues being faced by British Columbia’s forest industry, they are doing little more than manipulating the facts, ...

A message from BC Conservative MLA Ward Stamer, and the Kamloops – North Thompson Riding Association

2025 was a busy first year. As a Caucus, we worked very hard to defeat Bills 14 and 15, legislation which allows the provincial government to move ahead without environmental assessments on renewable projects, and that also allows cabinet to build infrastructure projects without getting approval from local municipal governments. This is not acceptable to your BC Conservative caucus, and we will continue to press this government for open and transparent projects in the future.  Two things we had success in were having the first Private Members bill passed in over 40 years. The first was Jody Toors Prenatal and Post Natal Care bill, and then there was my private members Bill M217 Mandatory Dashcams in commercial vehicles (passed second reading unanimously and is heading to Committee in February). Regrettably, much of the legislation passed by the government was little more than housekeeping bills, or opportunities to strengthen the ability of Cabinet Ministers to bypass the BC legi...

Wildfire waste plan torched -- Forestry critic Stamer calls BC's wildfire salvage rate 'a failure'

Claims that BC is making progress salvaging wildfire-damaged timber are masking deeper problems in the forest sector, the province’s forestry critic says. Last week, BC’s Ministry of Forests said mills in the province processed more than one million cubic metres of wildfire chips in 2024-25, up from 500,000 cubic metres in 2023 and representing about seven per cent of all processed wood. Kamloops-North Thompson BC Conservative MLA Ward Stamer said those claims of progress ignore the reality that only a fraction of burned timber is being used ... CLICK HERE for the full story
