Why BC Cancer – Kelowna?
BC's interior region is an amazing winter playground for snow sports enthusiasts, and an equally fantastic summer destination for water adventures like kayak, canoe, stand-up paddleboard or pedal boat – offered right in downtown Kelowna Big White Ski Resort is less than an hour drive from town, and offers a resort-style setting with amenities for downhill skiing and snowboarding, along with fat biking, snowmobiling, and any other winter sport you can think of. Come summer time, stop at roadside fruit stands for delicious Okanagan fresh fruit, and head out for the multitude of parks and beaches along Kelowna's shoreline.
The centres are fast paced with daytime hours, and tasks vary throughout each shift, collaborating with colleagues throughout different departments. Unit Clerks are valued members of the BC Cancer Centre teams, working in areas such as Systemic Therapy Program, Radiation Therapy Program, Radiation/Medical Daycare Unit, Surgical Oncology, Ambulatory Clinic, Research Labs and Clinical Trials.

Reconciliation is an ongoing process and a shared responsibility for all of us. The BC Governments' unanimous passage of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act was a significant step forward in this journey—one that all health authorities are expected to support as we work in cooperation with Indigenous Peoples to establish a clear and sustainable path to lasting reconciliation. True reconciliation will take time and ongoing commitment to work with Indigenous Peoples as they move toward self-determination. Guiding these efforts Crown agencies must remain focused on creating opportunities that implement the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Mandate.
