Former B.C. premier John Horgan to join board of new coal business
Former B.C. premier John Horgan’s first job after officially resigning his seat in the B.C. legislature will be with a coal-producing business.
He will be joining the board of Elk Valley Resources, which is in the process of being spun off from Vancouver-based Teck Resources Ltd. and will focus on coal that is used to make steel.
Horgan was the B.C. NDP’s mining and energy critic before he was premier. He was the first B.C. NDP leader to win two terms and oversaw the province’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and its responses to the extreme heat wave and catastrophic floods in 2021.
