Connect with like-minded Industry Professionals across Canada

"I have been to a few of the BAC’s learning events at Vancouver Island University and found them very helpful. We like to go and further our knowledge. I’ve been baking at Old Town Bakery for 19 years and my specialties are cakes and pies. I like the fast pace of the baking industry, getting a lot of things done in a short amount of time. I was born for this!”.

“Being part of the Bakery Association gives me a chance to network, share my passion and give back to the industry I grew up in. Being accessible and projecting a spark of passion to today’s students, will hopefully light a little fire under the students in the schools to become part of this beautiful industry.”
