It is with great excitement and gratitude that we welcome you to the BC Total Rewards Network (BCTRN) - a new professional community built for and by total rewards professionals across British Columbia.
The idea for BCTRN was born from a simple but powerful observation: while there are many excellent HR associations and national groups, there was no dedicated space where total rewards practitioners in BC could come together to learn, connect, and grow - with a local focus and a shared understanding of our unique environment. We believed there was an opportunity to create something special: a network that would blend global best practices with local insight, and elevate the total rewards profession here at home.
At BCTRN, our mission is to build a thriving, supportive community where total rewards professionals - whether they work in compensation, benefits, pensions, wellbeing, recognition, or any other related field - can share knowledge, inspire each other, and stay ahead of the trends shaping our work.
This journey is just beginning. Over the months ahead, we will be offering learning opportunities, networking events, thought leadership, and ways to get involved as contributors and volunteers. Our goal is to grow thoughtfully and collaboratively, building a network that reflects the energy, diversity, and the evolving needs of the BC total rewards community.
