Named as one of BC’s Top Employers for 2020, 2021, and 2022 the BCUC might be unlike any other place you’ve worked before.

While protecting the ratepayer and the public interest, we afford the entities that we regulate a reasonable opportunity to earn a fair return on their capital investments, and in the case of compulsory insurance, ensure that costs are recovered and that there is adequate financial capacity to pay claims.
