About Us
The Better Business Bureau has empowered people to find businesses, brands, and charities they can trust for over 110 years. In 2023, people turned to BBB more than 250 million times for BBB Business Profiles on more than 5.3 million businesses, all available for free at BBB.org . Local, independent BBBs are found across Canada and the United States, including the BBB Serving Mainland British Columbia, which was founded in 1939 and serves Mainland BC and the Yukon territory. The BC Mainland & Yukon Chapter is mid-way through a four-year strategic plan focused on growing an engaged business community of aligned individuals focused on bringing value back to the business community while impacting our local market.
