Welcome to the GLBA of British Columbia's website.  Our organization has been instrumental in the creation of a nation-wide organization of gay, lesbian, transgendered, bisexual and allied business organizations across Canada.  We are proud to be one of the founding members of this national group and proud that our name at last reflects the geographic diversity of our membership.

No matter how you look at it, a membership with the Gay and Lesbian Business Association of British Columbia translates into opportunities. Creating and developing opportunities for networking and increased business for our members is what we are here for. Below are some of the ways you and your business will benefit from a membership with us:
