Welcome to the BC Office

Seth Klein

“When the CCPA British Columbia Office opened in 1997, we dove into BC’s public policy debates head first, backed by the solid research and expertise CCPA is known for. We’ve been at it ever since, challenging the message that there is no alternative, and showing that a more just, caring and sustainable society is possible.”
