British Columbia publishes a live register. OrgBook BC holds 2.8 million registered organisations with their names, addresses and status, each traceable to the credential that asserted it. It is not reproduced here — the Province licenses it “access only”, meaning it may be read but not republished without written permission. Search it directly: OrgBook BC. Why it is not used here.

Evidence depth

85/100

Deep record

This scores the depth of the public evidence assembled here. It does not score the organisation’s quality, reputation, solvency or risk. The formula is fixed and reproducible. See the formula.

Public footprint · version 1

Where this organisation appears in public records

Eight independent dimensions describe the size and shape of the evidence. They are deliberately not added into one company score: a licence, a grant, a director filing and a court finding mean different things.

Footprint is not performance.

A larger bar means more public records of that kind. It does not mean better, worse, safer, larger, more profitable or more reputable.

Municipal licences (1)

Place	Category	Number	First issued	Status
Burnaby	RESEARCH/DEVELOPMENT/LAB	00159588	May 1, 2026	APPROVED

A licence records permission to operate. It is issued by a municipality, not by a corporate registrar, and its presence says the organisation traded at that address on that date — nothing about whether it does today.

A shared door is not always a shared purpose. Sharing an address can mean one organisation with several registered arms, a building a sector clusters in, or simply a landlord. It is a fact about where filings were sent, not a claim about who controls whom.

Addresses used here are only ones already published on these pages: where a single publisher asserts an address it is coarsened to a locality, because a registered office is very often somebody’s home. And where 25 or more organisations share one door — a registered agent or a law firm — no connection is drawn at all, because at that point the address describes the agent rather than the organisations. How address precision is decided.

Paying institution	Awards	Value
National Research Council Canada	6	$777,000

Value as published, not money paid. The federal contract value field includes the ceiling of standing offers and supply arrangements — purchasing capacity a department may never draw on. A large figure here can mean a large ceiling rather than a large payment.

Awards are attached to this record only where the evidence identifies exactly one organisation: a name and postal area that narrow to a single company, or a name unique across the whole national corpus. Proactive publication truncates the vendor postal code to three characters, so anything that could belong to more than one company is left unattached rather than guessed at. Totals are a floor in that direction. The full rules.

What it does

Licensed as: RESEARCH/DEVELOPMENT/LAB
Industry code: 54 · 541710
North American Industry Classification System

Trade and licence class are the publisher’s own words, kept as written rather than mapped onto a vocabulary of this site’s invention — a Calgary “RESTAURANT” and a Montréal “Restaurant service rapide” describe the same thing and are not the same string, and pretending otherwise would put words in a city’s mouth. The industry code is the exception: NAICS is a standard shared across Canada, the United States and Mexico, so it means the same thing wherever it appears. Only some publishers assign one.

Why this is one record

3 public datasets from 3 independent publishers describe this organisation. They were joined into one record because the evidence below agreed — never on a matching name alone.

Same name and address — 3855 henning, burnaby, BC
asserted by City of Burnaby and Statistics Canada

An automatic merge requires a shared business number, or a matching name AND address — never a name by itself. How resolution works.

Freshness is measured, not implied. “Last captured” is when this project last completed a read of the whole source dataset. “Coverage kept” is how many immutable captures and meaningful capture-to-capture comparisons are available. A missed day remains an explicit gap; a later snapshot cannot tell us what happened inside it. See every source.

This page is assembled from open data. It is not an official record, and the registrar is authoritative where the two disagree. How records are assembled.
