to the BC Lapidary Society.

The BCLS is a non-profit organization founded to encourage and promote the lapidary hobby in British Columbia. The organization consists of thirty charter member clubs, with a membership of approximately 1,500 people who collect rocks, minerals, crystals and fossils. The BCLS is a member of the Gem and Mineral Federation of Canada (GMFC) that offers a scholarship.

The Society presents an annual BC Gem & Mineral Show in April, which is well supported by clubs from across the province, plus numerous dealers from across North America.
The Society organizes two major field trips -- the Annual Rockhound's Rendezvous in May each year to one of the affiliated clubs' areas, and the Summer Camp to explore a more remote region of the province.
