David Eby To Be Sworn-In Today

It’s the changing of the guard at the BC Legislature.

David Eby will be sworn-in as British Columbia premier at a ceremony at the Musqueam Community Centre Friday morning at 10am.

“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.”

John Horgan had his last day on the job yesterday - announcing in June he would be stepping down to focus on his health, after two battles with cancer.

Horgan says he’ll keep his foot in politics - sending a text to his fellow premiers, and the Prime Minister, saying he's available to help resolve the gridlock over Canada’s health care funding.
