Lək̓ʷəŋən [LEKWUNGEN] TERRITORY / VICTORIA B.C. – B.C. Green Leader, Sonia Furstenau released the following statement on the passing of the Honourable John Horgan.

“I am deeply saddened to hear of John Horgan’s passing today,” said Furstenau. “John dedicated his life to serving our province. He loved British Columbia and its people dearly. Under his leadership, B.C. saw the introduction of UNDRIP, $10-a-day childcare, the Clean BC climate plan, and many other initiatives and policies that were focused on long-term solutions for the province.

“My thoughts are with his family and loved ones as they process this terrible loss.”

Former B.C. Green MLA Adam Olsen also reflected on Premier Horgan’s leadership.

“John Horgan will be remembered as a leader who worked hard every day for the people of B.C. John was steadfast in his belief that the government can work better to put people first. B.C. is a better place for having had him as Premier.

“I extend my sincere condolences to his family, friends and former colleagues.”

Furstenau said comments made by some B.C. Conservative candidates who won their ridings are truly disturbing, including racist, dehumanizing, homophobic and conspiratorial statements.
