BC Building Science teamed up with the Residences for Independent Living Society to replace the deck at their False Creek Residence.

The Centra Cares annual golf tournament was another big success this year, raising funds for the Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation and Wagner Hills Farm Society.

The BC Building Science team had a great time as usual – both on the course and running a ‘Beach Ball Water Gun Race’ at the hole we sponsored.

Another successful company camping trip to Cultus Lake. Campfires, waterslides, sun tanning, swimming, games and good times. BC Building Science’s annual camping trip is all about team bonding, relaxing and having fun together. Every year our team grows and we add more tents to our campsite.

BC Building Science continued its annual tradition of volunteering at the Vancouver Food Bank. We are glad to take some time out of our day to help out our community.
