THE BUSINESS LAUREATES OF BC HALL OF FAME permanent site located at Vancouver Convention Centre East since 2009 The Hall of Fame has two important goals: to honour those who helped build our province, and to inspire those who follow to be builders themselves. Courtesy of our “Buy-A-Brick” campaign and the generosity of the community, Junior Achievement of British Columbia built this hall to tell their stories. The interactive display includes a kiosk that s pent two years in Victoria and Prince George. Through this landmark, people from all parts of the province will share a feeling of pride for these remarkable BC business leaders.
