British Columbia International Commercial Arbitration Centre (Vancouver)

Founded off the back of Vancouver���s hosting of Expo ���86, the centre was initially a joint project of the
federal and provincial governments. Since then, it has morphed into a non-profit society providing
���competent, consistent, and fiscally responsible��� alternative dispute resolution services, according to
Patrick Williams, president of the board of directors. Almost half of the centre���s 114 panellists are international, but domestic arbitrations are also addressed, and 2012 was its busiest year since formation. It is
also the registry for Woodlands Schools abuse claims.

Arbitrat
This non-profit organization was formed in 1986 to act as an independent manager of
private, public, and para-public alternative dispute resolution programs. It pairs up clients
with more than 50 mediators and arbitrators, drawn from various professional backgrounds, ensuring, throughout the process, ���that procedural acts, proceedings, and choice
of arbitrators, in view of costs and time, are proportionate to the nature and purpose of
the claim and its level of complexity,��� according to President Michel Jeanniot.
