We were honoured to host the 2024 Vitality Gala, presented by B2Gold Corp., at the Vancouver Convention Centre last weekend.

We’re proud to be a part of this impactful evening and look forward to more events that inspire hope and community spirit.

PavCo’s venues of BC Place and the Vancouver Convention Centre are situated on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We gratefully acknowledge and appreciate the privilege to live and work on these lands, and we recognize the enduring presence and stewardship of these First Nations Peoples. Today on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day, our venues will be illuminated orange in honour of the victims and survivors of the residential school system in Canada, as well as their families and communities. Our organization and venues are committed to supporting Indigenous reconciliation, and we encourage all Canadians to engage with this occasion through listening, learning and reflecting on the journey towards healing and justice for First Nations, Inuit and Metis Peoples.

More than 32,000 attendees attended Everything Electric last weekend at the Vancouver Convention Centre—nearly double the attendance of last year’s. This event had the largest roster of EV test drives in Canada, with over sixty different electric vehicles available. In total, 27 auto makers were represented at the event, with notable highlights including the Rolls-Royce Spectre, Porsche Taycan 2025, Genesis GV70 Electrified – and exclusive unveils of the Polestar Concept BST, the refreshed Hyundai IONIQ5 and Rivian’s R3, in addition to the first public test drives of the VinFast VF9. Congrats, FullyCharged.SHOW & Everything Electric!
