The Canadian Bar Association of British Columbia (CBABC) serves as the professional association for lawyers in the province. It represents over 8,200 members in British Columbia and connects them to a national network of approximately 40,000 legal professionals across Canada. The organisation advocates on behalf of the legal profession and provides resources to support practitioners at every career stage.
CBABC is staffed by approximately 25 employees who support a broad range of volunteer-driven activities. Members engage through practice-area sections, affinity groups, and committees that facilitate professional networking and knowledge sharing. The association places emphasis on mentorship, professional growth, and volunteer engagement.
The organisation has made equity, diversity, and inclusion within the legal profession a stated priority. It works to make the legal community more accessible and representative of the broader communities it serves in British Columbia.
