Past Events

Vancouver Island CITT Industry Night, March 28, 2025

The Vancouver Island mixer on March 28th was a huge success, running overtime, and attracting 55 participants. A big shout out to Nic Timmenga for driving this event, our venue sponsor: University of Victoria, Roger Bishop Theatre, and also to our breakout table leaders: Spencer Kanaka, Nicole Lamb, Don Parman, Monica Arthurs, Jame Burns, George Scott, Dan Pedlow, Nicole Lamb, and Mya Wilson.

Technical Director and Production Manager’s Roundtable, March 24, 2025

We identified a clear need for advocacy about the nature of our work and a broad scope of training fundamentals that need to be addressed. Our members were able to rediscover CITT/ICTS and Banff Centre skills chart projects from the early 90’s-2000’s, and we will be looking for participants to contribute to an update. If you are interested, (not limited to BC-Yukon Members) please let us know via email.

We finally managed to get another CITT BC road trip together. In concert with Actsafe & MDG Fog Generators we travelled to Vernon for a TD roundtable hosted by Eric Pell and his fabulous crew. The seven participants received free supervisor training courtesy Marty Classen at Actsafe, a product demo from MDG Thierry and Brian, and a great 2.5hr roundtable discussion lead by Don Parman (CITT National Board member). It was a fabulous day, and huge thanks to all that made it happen!
