Staff Directory
The CBABC Branch is here to serve more than 7,600 members around the province.
We invite members and non-members to contact us with any questions or feedback at cba@cbabc.org.
CBABC is located on the traditional and unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples, including the Tsleil-Waututh, Squamish and Musqueam First Nations. We encourage our members to explore the rich history and knowledge of Indigenous people, and to continue learning about their experience in Canada, past and present.
