The entity’s annual awards ceremony is set for May 19, 2017, where not only its members are rewarded but outstanding members of society are also recognised.

The BCC is encouraging youths to go to school and partake in its plans and events to help them be meaningfully occupied and at the same time benefiting themselves, the community, and country at large.
