About Us

Five SailsFor more than 100 years, The Vancouver Board of Trade has helped businesses of all sizes to grow and prosper.

Our mission statement
Our mission is to work in the enlightened interest of our members to promote, enhance and facilitate the development of the region as a Pacific centre for trade, commerce and travel. The Board strives to enable and empower its members to succeed, grow and prosper in the global economy.

Our basic principles
The Board believes that the market system is the only system that works effectively in the allocation of scarce economic resources for efficient and stable economic growth and job creation. The Board recognizes the imperfections of the market system and supports the need for publicly provided services such as social services, health services and public education. The Board supports the philosophy of less government involvement in the business sector and believes that governments should not do what can be done in whole or in part by the private sector.

World Trade Centre VancouverMembership in The Board of Trade offers an extensive number of resources and services and puts you in touch with a network of more than 5,800 business contacts.

Vancouver Board of Trade members are automatically members of World Trade Centre Vancouver.




WEB PROFILE




British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC)

SOV Founding Partner

British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC) provides great lottery, casino and bingo entertainment, fun experiences and the chance to win prizes. We also generate significant net income for government programs that benefit British Columbians every day. 

Each year, BCLC net income is distributed to government to benefit programs for health, education, social, community, charitable and municipal purposes. Government directs a significant portion to consolidated revenue and the Health Special Account. 

Some 6,000 charitable and community organizations share in the profits from gaming revenue through community gaming grants. These groups work to provide valuable community services in the areas of arts, culture and sport, public safety, human and social services, parent advisory committees in schools, and major capital projects. 

Since 1985, more than $9 billion in BCLC net income has been generated for the public good.
