Welcome!
BCRIMA Members acknowledge the territories of First Nations around B.C. and the Yukon, and are grateful to carry out our work on these lands. We acknowledge the rights, interests, priorities, and concerns of all Indigenous Peoples - respecting and acknowledging their distinct cultures, histories, and rights. We are committed to building reconciliatory relationships in our communities through our connections in the Risk and Insurance industry.
The 2024/2025 incoming Board members have reviewed and submitted a Commitment and Confidentiality Agreement, renewing their pledge to serve our Chapter and its members with the utmost of professionalism and candor. Our Chapter is working with RIMS to collaborate in updating bylaws, processes and positions with the goals to ensure inclusivity, evolve with the challenges the world has faced in the past number of years, and to continue to be relevant in these changing times.
Without volunteers we would not be able to set and accomplish our goals. On that note, I would like to thank and introduce you to the incoming 2024 / 2025 BCRIMA Board of Directors team;

With the RIMS Canada 2024 Conference being held in Vancouver this October 6th through 9th, we look forward to welcoming our members from across the Chapter and Canada to our beautiful Province! There will be a brunch session covering Reconciliation, Equity, Inclusion & Diversity on October 6th to welcome our members to Vancouver. Also, BCRIMA will be hosting a Legacy celebration event to announce the winner of the Coast to Coast (C2C) Legacy Challenge at Steamworks in the afternoon of October 9th following the Conference. Be sure to mark these events in your calendar and RSVP early – seating is limited!!
Not only do we have the privilege of having the RIMS Canada Conference in Vancouver this year, but we are also looking continue with our virtual education sessions and for members to participate in #RiskManagement #RoundTables in any of our #spokes within British Columbia and the Yukon. We are working on the framework for these events which will include a mini ERM #RoundTable for the hosting company with a panel of seasoned and rising risk professional, as well as a networking social event where possible. Do you know of a company that could benefit from one of these events? Please reach out to the Chapter to #starttheconversation.
Please consider getting involved in organizing or sponsoring one of the events you will see in the coming term, or assisting on a committee, or attending an event and bring a Risk Management colleague or #risingriskprofessional to a networking event.
Thank you to all who give of themselves and their time to support the BCRIMA Chapter. Without everyone pitching in, we would not be where we are today.
