Our Goal

The BCSCA has a membership of over 160 shopping centre representatives and 40 supporting suppliers. It is made up of Shopping Centre Managers, Developers, Owners, Leasing Representatives, Marketing Professionals and Suppliers with the shared goal of enhancing B.C.’s shopping centres through communication, education, research and advocacy.
