The BCFPA Operations Committee is designed to provide a forum for operations focused members through group interaction and speakers on topics of interest to the group. Call ((604) 541-3977) or email Connie for more information on the committee and the meeting schedule.
Monthly meetings of participants for roundtable discussion and experiences shared that can benefit members. Additionally, where possible a plant tour in the host facility will be offered.
