Hosting the Defence, Security and Resilience Bank in Vancouver is about choosing the right place for a global institution built on speed, security, and connectivity.
Geography matters. Talent matters. Connectivity matters. Vancouver delivers all three.
We’re ready on day one, globally connected, and built for this moment, let’s Bank on BC.

Selecting Canada as host country for the DSRB reinforces our place on the global stage in defence and security. Selecting Vancouver as the host city reinforces that location is strategy.
Vancouver has the people, the innovation and the global reach to build a more secure future:
Clean energy, critical minerals, cybersecurity talent & 98% clean power.
One working day connects us to the Indo-Pacific, the Arctic & Europe. DSRB belongs here.

Great to see support from Western Premiers. This is an important opportunity for Canada. Vancouver is the only Canadian city where geography, infrastructure, diplomatic presence, and defence linked industrial capability converge, making Vancouver the strategic choice as host city
Heartbreaking news from Tumbler Ridge. Unthinkable violence in a small, close knit community. My heart goes out to the families and friends affected and sending prayers to the entire community.

Canada is reinvesting in our security, in partnership with our NATO allies. The DSRB will play a critical role in financing the rebuild.
We're pleased to be working with the gov't & other investment attraction partners to put Vancouver’s best foot forward to host the DSRB.👇

Welcoming the @FIFAWorldCup to Vancouver with @BCLions Duane Vienneau. Our city is hosting 7 games, bringing significant economic and tourism benefits to our region. 10 months to go!
At a time when Canada is facing significant economic challenges, an airline labour disruption would be felt far and wide. Ottawa should be ready to intervene if necessary. boardoftrade.com/news/open-l…
Congratulations to all. @KahlonRav looking forward to working with you on a new agenda for economic growth, making it easier for businesses to grow and create jobs in our communities.
NEW: Premier David Eby has shuffled his cabinet. Ravi Kahlon heads up Jobs, Nina Krieger goes to Public Safety, and Christine Boyle moves to Housing, etc. However, Josie Osborne remains at Health. @CityNewsVAN #bcpoli

A huge economic and historic moment for BC.
Today, LNG Canada successfully loaded a first cargo of liquefied natural gas that is now destined for global markets, marking the start of operations at Canada’s first large-scale LNG export facility. lngcanada.ca/news/first-carg…
We urgently need to build our economy, especially given the US trade war. There’s been a lot of talk on the need to support local, but in order to buy local, we need to build and grow local.

This is a step in the right direction to improve the confidence of investors and SMEs.
Canada's regulatory burden has grown 37%, reducing investment by 9% and real GDP by 1.7%.
We need to make it easier to invest, build, and grow in this province. 1/ #bcpoli
