Members can advertise for free for the first three months! Do you have a law practice to sell? Are you looking for office space? Our newest service for CBABC members offers you direct access to the legal community. Ads are posted in “Online Classified Ads” under “Public & Media.”
CBABC Home and Hospitality Exchange Registry
This Registry caters exclusively to CBA members traveling within Canada, the USA and international destinations. Through the Registry, members may arrange short and long-term home exchanges. For the out-of-town wedding, graduation or conference, the Registry offers a no cost alternative to pricey hotels. Our easy-to-use Registry makes family vacations, senior/retired vacations, and work-related home and hospitality exchanges both attractive and affordable. Home exchangers live like locals, not tourists, shopping in neighborhood markets and cafes.
CBA members are welcome to list their house or condo at no cost. Send a description of your property with photos to webmaster@bccba.org. Learn more online in “Member Savings” under “Membership.”
Requests for Comment
Periodically, governments and other organizations seek comment from CBABC members on proposed legislative initiatives. CBABC publishes “Requests for Comment” online in “Legislation & Law Reform” under “CBA Publications.” Links are also provided on the home page under “Requests for Comment.”
