Great fun. Already looking forward to this event. I’m hoping there are extra hot dogs this time?? Last year the supply died before we, including one of the swimmers, got to the table serving them.

Looking for people to sponsor. No way, I am going in without a wetsuit!

Let’s celebrate British Columbia’s Non-Profits!
What is #BCNonProfitDay?

October 30 has been proclaimed BC Non-Profit Day, an occasion to celebrate the non-profit sector, and create a deeper understanding of the people and communities that non-profits support. It also serves as an opportunity to recognize the dedication of staff and volunteers who work each day to strengthen our communities.

Several non-profit sector partner organizations have collaborated to mark this important day, but they are encouraging and inviting all non-profits to tell their story and celebrate the vital role that non-profits play in creating and maintaining healthy, vibrant, and inclusive communities in British Columbia.

This facility is the heart of health care on Galiano, and the home of our excellent primary care practitioners – Two Family Physicians and a Family Nurse Practitioner. Medical Services.

But we are not a one trick pony, as this website will reveal. Aging in Place, Community Wellness Programs, Better at Home, Mental Health and Wellness, Seniors Walk and Talk, Transitions in Dying & Grieving, are all Health Care Society initiatives, programs or partnerships designed with your life-long health in mind.

As well, many allied health services locate themselves at the health centre: a weekly blood/specimen collection lab, the Home & Community Care Nurse, the Public Health Nurse, the Dentist and Hygienist, the Foot Care Nurse, the Chiropractor, Registered Massage Therapist, and Physiotherapist.

We are a virtual smorgasbord of health care offerings, and very proud of it. Please explore the wonderful pages on this website. We have tried to capture the essence of the Galiano Health Care Society and Centre.
