The Vancouver Island Economic Alliance is pleased to announce that Premier Horgan will speak at the Opening Luncheon of the 13th annual ‘State of the Island’ Economic Summit. The Summit will be held at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre in Nanaimo October 23 and 24.
John Horgan was sworn in as Premier of British Columbia on July 18, 2017. He began his service as an MLA in 2005, when he was elected to represent the riding of Juan de Fuca on Southern Vancouver Island.
