Representing the interests of more than 2,000 members and clients, ICBA is one of leading third-party providers of group and retirement benefits in BC, the single largest sponsor of apprentices in the province, and undertakes public policy research and advocacy initiatives focused on the construction sector.

We are a strong voice in the industry whose expertise is regularly sought after by government and the private sector. We advocate on behalf of free enterprise and the construction industry of BC, and are an influential voice for advocating the best interests of our members. Our services are constantly evolving, and we are excited to share more services on ICBA’s horizon.
