Premier Christy Clark has issued the following statement marking Easter:

“This weekend, Christians throughout B.C. and the world will celebrate Easter alongside their friends, family, and congregations.

“For many, Easter is a time to commemorate and reflect on the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Christians believe God sent His only son to Earth to redeem humanity’s sins, but also to deliver a message of hope – that acts of kindness and love have the power to make the world a better place.

“No matter what your personal beliefs or faith may be, Easter weekend is an opportunity to spend more time with friends and loved ones.

“I wish all British Columbians a happy Easter Weekend.”
