Vancouver Island Centre
The BC SUPPORT Unit Vancouver Island Centre is the first point of contact for stakeholders located in the area served by Island Health.
Located on the traditional territories of the Coast Salish, Kwakawaka’wakw, and Nuu-chah-nulth cultural families, the Centre serves communities on Vancouver Island, the islands in the Salish Sea and the Johnstone Strait, and the mainland north of Powell River.
