The BCMA strives to promote professionalism, collegiality, respect, dignity, and cooperation. Delegates are expected to uphold the commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion by maintaining an environment that respects diverse traditions, heritages, and experiences.

As visitors to Haida Gwaii it is essential that we respect the lands and the people, limit our impact on the environment and community, and show respect for all beings.

As a community, it is critical that we take collective responsibility to protect each other and limit the spread of communicable diseases.
