We raise our hands in deep respect as we honour the life and legacy of Joan Amshen Phillip.

Joan Amshen Phillip was a strong Indigenous leader, advocate, and changemaker. Joan was səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) and made history as only the second First Nations woman to serve as an MLA in British Columbia.

Throughout her life, Joan Phillip dedicated herself to justice, human rights, and the well-being of Indigenous Peoples and communities. Her voice, leadership, and advocacy touched many lives and helped create a stronger path forward for future generations.

The granddaughter of Chief Dan George, Joan also stood alongside her husband, Grand Chief Stewart Phillip for decades in service to community and in advocating for Indigenous rights.

We send our heartfelt condolences to her family, loved ones, community, constituents and all those whose lives she touched.

We raise our hands in gratitude for her life, her leadership and the legacy she leaves behind.

We stand with the families of the women who disappeared and those who were murdered on the Pickton Farm. We call upon the RCMP to preserve the evidence and to thoroughly investigate these cases. The families deserve to know the truth.
