Vancouver Chapter

Who we are

The BCSEA Vancouver Chapter is all of the BCSEA members in the Metro-Vancouver region. We think transitioning away from burning fossil fuels for energy is the most important challenge facing humanity and also our greatest opportunity to create a positive future with a clean environment, a fair economy, and a just society.

The Vancouver Chapter Steering Committee and Project Teams consist of a diverse and inclusive group of leaders who are passionate about growing the Sustainable Energy Community in Vancouver. Many of us work in careers related to sustainable energy, and think everyone should be able to thrive in a career that aligns with your values.

If you are interested in learning about sustainable energy, finding career opportunities, and making the world a better place, we invite you to join us!

What we do

BCSEA Vancouver Steering Committee strives to build the Sustainable Energy Community in Vancouver, and empower our members to take action. We organize events and other projects with 3 objectives: education, career development, and social change. And we have a lot of fun!

Some of our past initiatives include:

• Entrepreneurs for Sustainability
• Women in Sustainable Energy Mentoring Event
• HallowHacks Hackathon
• Energy Connections Conference
• Green Drinks
• CleanBC panel discussion
• BCSEA Volunteer Appreciation
• Electric Vehicle Fair Event
• Federal Election Debates 
• Greener Buildings and Natural Materials Speaker Event

Where We Meet

Currently, the Vancouver Chapter is active online using Slack.  Once the COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted fully, we look forward to meeting again in person and resuming our social evenings.  Meanwhile, contact us using the Contact Form or at.

We are always looking for volunteers, so if you’re interested in getting involved, drop us a line! We look forward to meeting you!

Volunteer Opportunities 

We are looking for Volunteers! 

BCSEA Van believes in “Do-acracy” – Doers get to choose not only what to be done but they get to choose HOW to do it. Champions are reliable volunteers who take new tasks or expand on ongoing ones and OWN what they do. No Champion, Doesn’t Happen (NC;DH). If no one is willing to spend time on a task, it will not get done. 

We are always looking for Volunteers and Project Managers (Champions) for our Chapter.
