The Royal BC Museum is one of our province’s greatest cultural icons and most important institutions. It is curated and nurtured by outstanding experts and visited and beloved by hundreds of thousands of visitors each year, both local and international.

On Nov. 26, I was sworn in as B.C.’s new minister of forests, lands, natural resource operations and rural development.
