New speaker announced for Conference Opening Greetings
BCCPA is pleased to announce an addition to our Conference opening lineup of speakers on Monday, May 29th. As a representative of the Government of Canada, Mr. Randeep Sarai, MP for Surrey-Centre and the Pacific Caucus Chair for the Liberal Party of Canada, will bring greetings on behalf of the Hon. Jane Philpott, Minister of Health.
Born in Vancouver and raised in South Burnaby, Randeep graduated from UBC with a Bachelor of Arts and went on to complete his Bachelor of Laws at Queen’s University. Randeep has been engaged in community work from a very young age, much of it learned through the examples set by his late father, and directed at anti-violence and anti-gang programs in the Fraser Valley. He supported his father to raise funds to fight against polio thru the local Rotary Club, build their local temple, and organize food drives. His mother worked in long term care homes, where he frequently visited her in his youth.
“Care providers are the backbone of health care in our communities,” says Randeep. “I’m looking forward to joining fellow British Columbians in Whistler and showing my support for the continuing care sector.”
