This year marks our 100 year anniversary for the BBB system so our 116 BBB's across North America are celebrating with our own local events. We are excited today to be a vibrant organization that is composed of 3,400 ethical businesses across Mainland British Columbia.
We will be hosting a “Centennial Celebration and Exhibition” on Saturday, March 17th , 2012, at the Heritage Hall (3102 Main Street, Vancouver). Celebrate 100 years of the BBB together with your community at this FREE community event. Meet local Accredited Businesses and fraud prevention experts. Get valuable consumer tips, meet professional businesses, and enjoy entertainment and food. While this is a celebration of our centenary, the Centennial is not a celebration only for the Better Business Bureau; it is a celebration of all businesses and consumers. What holds true yesterday holds true today. Consumers want to do business with trustworthy companies. We invite Accredited Business to join us. Exhibition and sponsorship opportunities starts at $200 + HST. Please go to our Centennial website for more information: http://mbc.bbb.org/bbb-centennial-events/ Can’t join us that day?

Special Thanks to our 2011 Partners A sincere 'Thank You' to our event partners, exhibitors and supporters for joining us at Smart Shoppers 2011 at Metropolis at Metrotown on Saturday, March 12! Presented by the Better Business Bureau of Mainland BC (BBB) and BC Securities Commission InvestRight, Smart Shoppers 2011's mission is to equip our participants with practical tools and resources, engaging them in content and topics relevant to everyday matters, including tools to safeguard oneself, loved ones and business from becoming fraud victims.
"Smart Shoppers Pay Attention" was our theme this year. Presentations were delivered by Lynda Pasacreta, BBB President & CEO, "Top Scams in BC" and God's Fraud Squad, BC Securities Commission, "Telling the Truth: Exposing Affinity Fraud." Participants had the chance to ask questions from our Fraud Prevention Expert Panel followed by that of the Consumer Awareness Expert Panel, as well as from exhibitors featuring products and services in different industries. Our magician and illusionist, John Kaplan, Abracadabra Show Productions, demonstrated how important it is to pay attention throughout the event.
