BC Place is also home to the province’s largest trade and consumer shows including the Vancouver International Boat Show, BC Home and Garden Show and Pacific International Auto Show. With major events happening over 200 days each year, BC Place truly is a place where dreams come alive.
BC Place provides the crucial link of bringing the province’s events and spectators together, while fulfilling its mandate of economic generation. Beyond the invaluable community benefit of events like the Vancouver Sun Run, the amount of economic impact generated by the venue by fiscal year end 2007 was $58.1 million. The renovation of BC Place, set for completion in 2011, will bring new and exciting business opportunities and expanded revenue.
