Vancouver Island Construction AssociationYOUR INDUSTRY. YOUR VOICE
As the Vancouver Island Construction Association (VICA), we serve our construction community: the institutional, commercial, industrial, civil, and multi-residential construction sectors on Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, and other coastal areas of British Columbia. VICA members come from all areas of our construction community.
VICA’s expansive event portfolio provides members opportunities to meet industry leaders, expand their network, and learn about trends and issues specific to the Vancouver Island construction sector. And not to mention having an a bit of fun, too!
With hundreds of VICA Members and other industry professionals in attendance, VICA events are a tremendous opportunity for your firm to gain exposure across Vancouver Island. The sponsorship opportunities available will bring your organization to a network looking to build relationships and develop business.
2022 OVERVIEW
After two pandemic-laden years we were excited to roll out our most ambitious event schedule to date. This included the return of the VICA Golf Tournament, a new partnership with the Pacific Football Club, two Hardhat in the Ballpark events, our Summer Sizzler Member Mixers and our VICA Christmas Luncheon.
For our summer events we had 704 attendees from 214 registered companies attend these events. We engaged 99 individual member companies over 3 months – which is 24% of our total membership. Of the 214 member companies, about 58% were Victoria based and 42% were Nanaimo based. Our sold-out 2022 Christmas Luncheon had 56 individual companies attend with 312 attendees.
