Established in 2004, PavCo operates with a clear mandate to generate economic and community benefit for the people of British Columbia through prudent management of these world-class public facilities. From the retractable roof of BC Place to the double LEED Platinum certified Vancouver Convention Centre, these venues have become architectural signatures for the province.
With a dedicated team of approximately 800 professionals across three divisions - BC Place, Vancouver Convention Centre, and Corporate Office - PavCo consistently delivers outstanding and sustainable events and experiences. The organization has earned recognition as a global leader in venue development, marketing, and management. BC Place proudly serves as "Canada's Home Stadium" for international sporting events, while the Vancouver Convention Centre has twice been named "World's Best Convention Centre." Together, these venues are forecast to generate over $2 billion in economic impact for British Columbia over five years, hosting everything from global summit meetings to world-class entertainment and sporting events.
