What an incredible night celebrating the Barn Burner in support of the District of North Vancouver Firefighters Charitable Society! ❤️🔥

As the Presenting Partner, we're proud to help raise funds for two amazing organizations making a real difference in people's lives: Buddy Check for Jesse, supporting youth mental health initiatives, and North Shore Family Services, providing vital programs and support for families on the North Shore.

The night was a perfect reminder of what can happen when great music, great people, and a great cause come together. Thank you to everyone who attended, donated, volunteered, and helped turn a concert into a meaningful way to support our waterfront communities.

As we continue recognizing International Day for Women in Maritime, we’re proud to celebrate more of the women across the BCMEA whose talent, leadership, and dedication help power B.C.’s waterfront.

From supporting day-to-day operations to helping global trade move efficiently, their work plays an important role in strengthening our ports and supporting thriving communities.

The strength and expertise of women across the waterfront help keep our ports stable, reliable, and moving forward — which is why we asked: What makes you strong?

Their dedication behind the scenes helps keep supply chains moving every day and contributes to a stronger Canada.

Inspired by this year’s theme, Stable Ports, Strong Canada, we asked members of our team: What makes you strong?

World-class safety on B.C.’s waterfront is built through investment in people, infrastructure, and training.

In 2025, the BCMEA rolled out the Blaxtair Pedestrian Detection System across the lift-truck fleet—enhancing on-site awareness and reducing collision risk in high-traffic areas. At our Waterfront Training Centre, the new Lines Practical set-up area is giving workers hands-on experience in safely securing vessels before stepping into live terminal environments.

Together, these advancements in innovation and hands-on training are strengthening safety where it matters most—on the job site.
