As an international meeting and conference facility, we recognize the importance of security and emergency preparedness in choosing your meeting site.

The VCC has worked with law enforcement and fire officials to establish an Emergency Response Plan and all of our staff members and suppliers have received training in the coordination of emergency situations. Our in-house Emergency Response Team is trained in the Incident Command System, using the same principles as fire, police, and ambulance services throughout North America. What's more, fire, police, and emergency medical agencies are located within minutes of our venue.

The VCC emergency program meets or exceeds the following regulations and guidelines:

• British Columbia Emergency Response Management Systems (BCERMS)
• British Columbia Workers' Compensation Board

While no meeting facility can offer zero risk, our precautions and location within Canada provide a very high level of confidence.
