Fairmont Château Whistler
The BC Association of Chiefs of Police is honoured to host its annual conference at the iconic Fairmont Chateau Whistler, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Coast Mountains. This flagship event draws together senior police leaders from across British Columbia, along with invited guests from across Canada, to share knowledge, explore emerging issues, and strengthen the collaborative leadership that underpins effective policing.
Over the course of three days, delegates will engage in a dynamic program designed to inform, inspire, and connect. The conference blends operational excellence with forward-thinking discussion, offering a balance of keynote presentations, operational briefings, and strategic dialogue on the issues shaping public safety today.
Conference Highlights
Keynote Address – Dr. Daniel K. Riskin, Evolutionary Biologist, TV Host, Science Communicator
Dr. Daniel K. Riskin is an award-winning scientist, broadcaster, and bestselling author, best known to Canadians as the former host of Discovery Channel’s flagship science program Daily Planet. With a PhD in zoology from Cornell University and a global career studying the biomechanics of bats, Daniel has built an international reputation for making complex science accessible, relevant, and engaging. His work has taken him to more than 20 countries, producing over 20 peer-reviewed publications and countless media appearances.
A dynamic and compelling speaker, Daniel has a rare ability to connect science to the real-world challenges leaders face. In his keynote, “How to Thrive in the Brave New World of Artificial Intelligence”, Daniel examines AI through the lens of evolution—exploring how intelligence emerges, adapts, and coexists with other forms of life and technology. Drawing parallels between natural systems and organizational leadership, he invites police leaders to consider how adaptability, innovation, and strategic foresight can shape policing in an era of rapid technological change.
Daniel’s message is clear and inspiring: the future will favour those who embrace curiosity, think critically, and build strong, trust-based relationships—whether with their teams, communities, or emerging technologies. His address promises to leave delegates with fresh perspectives, practical insights, and renewed confidence in their ability to lead through uncertainty.
