We are Western Canada's leading business association, known as one of the country’s busiest and most sought-after events platforms. Since 1887, we have engaged our members to impact public policy and create a thriving region with a prosperous economy. Our membership comprises one-third of B.C.’s workforce. Through our collective strength, we educate, inform, connect, and leverage this expertise.

We are in a unique time of transformation. Enabled by technology and society’s evolving priorities, the way that Canadians work and live is rapidly changing. There is a greater reliance than ever on businesses to lead changes in public policy issues that impact our community.

Our region, which is still a vital gateway for natural resource development, commerce, and trade - is also a rapidly growing hub for technology, culture, apparel, and more. As our economy diversifies, and grows, we are striving to be a model of a sustainable, resilient, equitable and truly world-class region.

To ensure the Greater Vancouver continues to thrive, we need to find new and innovative ways to engage our members, broaden our reach to new sectors, and tap into their expertise. By developing more resources to support businesses and creating a stronger voice, we can build a more competitive and prosperous community together.
