Campus & Services
The Boucher Campus in Beautiful BC!
We offer an outstanding educational experience in the perfect location.
The Boucher Institute is located in the three-storey Boucher Centre in the heart of New Westminster, B.C.
Also, conveniently located adjacent to the Columbia Skytrain Station, Boucher is only minutes from downtown Vancouver and many popular attractions such as Yaletown, Robson Street, Gastown, Granville Island, Stanley Park and Chinatown - to name a few!
The mighty Fraser River is just one block south of the school, and a beautiful boardwalk extends several kilometres through New Westminster.
Known for its stunning natural beauty - with towering mountains, parks, beaches and more, beautiful British Columbia is an ideal fit for the outdoor enthusiast.
