BC is home to several global mining and resource corporations, whose notoriety includes world-leading sustainable mining innovations.

Teck provided the copper sheeting for the counter of the hosting station. The copper and jade hosting station is a highlight feature of the hosting space. Following a design style established at the BC Canada Pavilion at the Beijing 2008 Summer Games, the translucent properties of the deep green jade and the rustic warmth of the copper countertop create a stunning and appealing contrast.
