The 22nd Vancouver Film Critics Circle Awards were presented on March 7, 2022, to honour the films selected by the Vancouver Film Critics Circle as the best of 2021.[1] Although usually presented in December of the same year for which the awards are presented, these awards were delayed to the winter of 2022, due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada and the associated complications in film production and distribution.
Nominations were announced on February 20.[2]
