APEBC is British Columbia’s premier association for business economists and other professionals interested in economic policy and research. Founded in Canada’s centennial year of 1967, our members work for a wide range of organizations in government, academia, think-tanks, finance, business and consulting. We convene economic policy and research seminars approximately once a month, along with social events and opportunities for networking and professional development.
