At ASHRAE Vancouver Island, our strength lies in the diversity of our community and the unique perspectives each member brings. We recognize that recent events have been deeply distressing for many within the global Iranian community, including our Iranian members, peers, and their families.

To our Iranian members and colleagues: we see you, we value you, and we care about your well-being. Your contributions to ASHRAE, the HVAC&R industry, and our local community are deeply appreciated. During this challenging time, we stand with you in compassion, understanding, and support.
