"Today, British Columbia lost a remarkable leader, and we in the BC NDP lost a dear friend and mentor.

John Horgan dedicated his life to public service, to the people of British Columbia, and to the principles of fairness, compassion, and integrity.

Fighting for people wasn’t something John did, it was who he was. As the MLA for Langford-Juan de Fuca, the leader of our party, and as Premier of BC, John never wavered from his commitment to make life better for everyday British Columbians. He genuinely loved the people of our province, and connected with people from all walks of life. Above all, his work made a difference, and we in the BC NDP will ensure it continues.

Our thoughts are with Ellie, his family, and everyone who knew and loved John from Langford. May we carry forward his vision for a fairer, kinder British Columbia in his memory.

Thank you, John, for everything."
