🛡️ We’re proud to announce that First West Credit Union is an official sponsor of BSides Vancouver Island 2025 — for the second year in a row!

First West is more than a financial institution — they’re a purpose-driven cooperative creating lasting impact across British Columbia. In 2024 alone, they invested over $3.1 million into community initiatives, contributed 6,831 volunteer hours, and supported 264 non-profit and charitable organizations.

Their Signature Cause programs, like Feed the Valley and The Full Cupboard, have raised nearly $5.6 million and collected 215,561 pounds of food since 2010, supporting a third of B.C.’s registered food banks.

At BSides VI, we’re grateful for their continued support in helping us build a stronger, safer, and more connected cybersecurity community.

🎉 Agenda drops this Friday! Packed with inspiring talks, and networking.
