British Columbia Showcase

 

Located in the heart of downtown Vancouver, the LEED Gold certified British Columbia Showcase (BC Showcase) will play an important role in the Province of British Columbia’s 2010-related activation. The BC Showcase is comprised of two connected spaces; one highlighting the Province through multimedia presentations and interactive displays, the other a versatile hosting area. Visitors and client groups can participate in a guided walk-through of the facility where they will be treated to presentations designed to create an immersive and engaging environment.
