Invest in British Columbia

Welcome to Invest in BC 2014. This annual publication strives to give you informative information on the eight economic regions of British Columbia, as well as timely trends in our ever changing economy. As the official publication of the British Columbia Economic Development Association (BCEDA), I hope that you find this information of value to you, and take the time to consider what an investment in British Columbia could do for you, or your business. Within these pages you will discover why investing in a British Columbia community will be the best financial decision you will ever make.

BCEDA is the leading professional association of economic development practitioners in the Province of BC. BCEDA currently has over 300 members from communities throughout the Province. BCEDA provides services that helps member communities grow and expand new and existing businesses, attract new business investments, and work towards strategic infrastructure investment, land use planning, and community enhancement.

Our members make up a diverse group of professionals committed to helping build British Columbia and its communities. They make it their agenda to bring the right people together at the right time to create valuable partnerships and build prosperity for all those involved.

It is widely known that British Columbia’s quality of life is second to none. If you have never had the opportunity to experience all that British Columbia has to offer, we invite you to pack your bags and take in one of the endless recreational possibilities. Snowboarding on a snow-capped mountain can be done on the same day as sunbathing excursion to a pristine sandy beach. British Columbia’s only limits are your imagination.
