Our committment | 50-30 Challenge

​In February 2021, the BCHA joined the 50 - 30 Challenge—an initiative between the Government of Canada, business, and diversity organizations—to improve access, for historically under-represented individuals, to positions of influence and leadership on corporate boards and in senior management.

​We are pleased to share that on November 15, 2022 at our Annual General Meeting, the BCHA fulfilled this goal. Please
