Job description

Role and Facility Information

This is a full-time established practice in a well-equipped 10 doctor clinic. It is located on the mainland 120 km northwest of Vancouver. The community offers many activities for outdoor enthusiasts with parks, beaches, lakes, and hiking and mountain bike trails. There is also a local Academy of Music and outstanding cultural and recreational facilities.

Thanks to one of the mildest climates in Canada, gardening, golfing, and fishing are year-round activities in Powell River. Add in a thriving arts and cultural community, and spectacular West Coast scenery, and you’ll see why those who visit want to stay! Powell River is just 134 km northwest of Vancouver and accessible by car and ferry (five hours) and air (half an hour).

Forestry, tourism, and fishing are the major industries. The town is large enough to offer every amenity to its 20,000 inhabitants but small enough to maintain a friendly community ambiance. Residents enjoy world-class fishing, hiking, diving, canoeing, sailing, walking, and kayaking.
