BC Brain Injury Association Strengthened Under CGB Umbrella
We are pleased to share an important update regarding the future of brain injury leadership, advocacy, and education in British Columbia. The BC Brain Injury Association (BCBIA) is now operating under the umbrella of the Constable Gerald Breese Centre for Traumatic Life Losses (CGB).
While the former standalone entity has formally dissolved, all assets and programs have been fully transferred to CGB, which now owns the trade names BC Brain Injury Association and Brainstreams. This ensures continuity of leadership, programming, education, and advocacy for people impacted by brain injury in British Columbia.
This transition strengthens our work by providing long-term stability, expanded reach, and deeper policy influence โ while preserving the trusted identity and mission of the BC Brain Injury Association.
There is no disruption to services. Instead, this change positions BC for stronger, more coordinated brain injury leadership now and into the future.
