Welcome to the BCPVA!
What is BCPVA?
The British Columbia Professional Videographer Association is a non-profit organization that consists of a diverse group of Vancouver video production companies and videographers. Our members have a wide range of experience in video production from broadcast, corporate and private clients.
Our monthly meetings are a forum to encourage our members to learn, share, and network with industry professionals. We also encourage clients to browse our website and to use the bcpva as a platform to find a qualified Vancouver videographer.
