The small gathering took place at the sxʷeŋxʷəŋ təŋəxʷ James Bay Branch of the Greater Victoria Public Library this afternoon, July 3.
Premier Horgan clearly enjoyed the interactive time with his very young audience. He joked that after reading a fun story to the kids he would be going back to his office to do more reading as part of his job.
People who just happened to be at the library today and the parents of today’s group of kids had this spontaneous opportunity to chat briefly with the Premier. One older woman clearly expressed her gratitude to Horgan for “all he is doing” for people in BC.
While this event was held in downtown Victoria, the Greater Victoria Public Library system includes libraries in the west shore including the Westhills and Goudy branches in Langford, and the Juan de Fuca branch in Colwood.
Colwood Councillor Rob Martin is chair of the Greater Victoria Public Library board.
