About Us
The BC Industrial Relations Association (BCIRA) is is a non-profit organization, established in 1979, and dedicated to providing a forum for open debate and the dissemination of information on current labour relations issues in British Columbia.
The BCIRA is affiliated to the Canadian Industrial Relations Association and the Industrial Relations Research Association. Members are free to participate in the meetings of these organizations in addition to the BCIRA.
The Association is governed by an executive committee consisting of a president, a vice president, a secretary-treasurer and between three and six members at large, selected to reflect the varied constituencies it serves. Since its foundation, the BCIRA has been located in the Faculty of Commerce (now the Sauder School of Business) at the University of British Columbia.
Our dinner functions are attended by a broad labour relations community comprised of management, unions, neutrals, government officials and academics. We look forward to seeing you at the events!
