BCLCA Events
Learn, Connect, and Grow Together
BCLCA organizes and supports year-round events that help campground, RV park, lodging, and outdoor-hospitality operators level up operations, build valuable relationships, and stay on top of industry trends. From our flagship Western Ideas Forum & AccomEx to webinare learning sessions and member town hall meetings, you’ll find timely opportunities to learn, connect, and grow.
Western Ideas Forum & AccomEx
Join operators and suppliers from across Western Canada for four days of learning, tours, and networking at the Western Ideas Forum & AccomEx—our marquee annual gathering. The 2025 forum runs November 3–6 at St. Eugene Golf Resort & Casino in Cranbrook, BC, featuring campground tours, keynotes, cracker-barrel discussions, and the AccomEx trade show. Register to secure your spot and explore exhibitor opportunities.
Educational Webinar & Parking Lot Series
Between major conferences, BCLCA offers practical, low-cost learning touchpoints—webinars and “parking lot” conversations—that focus on current issues, tools, and best practices. These sessions are designed to be approachable and immediately useful for busy owners and operators. Watch for upcoming topics and dates in the Dogwood Express.
Annual General Meeting
Our AGM is where members help steer the association, hear updates, and connect with peers and the volunteer board. Details, documents, and registration are published ahead of the meeting—join us to add your voice to BCLCA’s direction.
Canadian RVing & Camping Month (June)
Every June, BCLCA supports Canadian RVing & Camping Month—thirty days of celebrating the joy of camping and road-tripping across the province. Watch for campaign ideas, shareable assets, and ways your business can participate to inspire travel during the shoulder season.
