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.
