“I am excited to be taking this important step close to home where my family and the people who have always supported me live,” said premier-designate Eby.

“I am very grateful to Chief Wayne Sparrow, the Musqueam councillors and the Musqueam people for hosting this ceremony in their home community. Because of their efforts, this event will be a powerful symbol of a shared vision for a province that delivers results for all British Columbians, in close partnership with Indigenous Peoples.”
