GCBA sponsors and partnerships 2025

The German Canadian Business Association (GCBA) has seen an exciting year of sponsorship growth and community engagement. Our GCBA sponsors and partnerships 2025 reflect this momentum, supported by businesses that share our vision of connecting German and Canadian networks.

Celebrating New Sponsors and Expanding Partnerships

After several years of valued support from the Brian Jessel Diplomatic and Military Sales Center, we were delighted to welcome Condor as a new sponsor at the beginning of 2025. Their commitment strengthens our ability to host meaningful events and expand our reach.

This year also brought a thrilling new partnership with the Vancouver Whitecaps, offering discounted tickets for all GCBA members and friends. Our August event celebrating Thomas Müller’s debut match was a resounding success, with over 100 tickets sold through the GCBA. Discounted tickets for the 2025 games are available here, so don’t miss your chance to be part of the action. Play-off tickets are also available!

Our member Eyes Multimedia, who joined in 2024, stepped up as a supporter of the June speaker event, capturing professional photos and producing a video of the panel. They also provided beautiful images from the soccer event, adding lasting memories to an unforgettable evening.

We’re also proud to introduce Sabine Just, a new Silver Sponsor and our recently appointed Director of Events. A dynamic realtor, Sabine brings business expertise, leadership, and fresh ideas to our network. Her yearly Pumpkin Truck event creates fun for families and friends and builds community connections.
