People for a Healthy Community (PHC) exists to provide services and support to residents of Gabriola, Mudge, and DeCourcy Islands throughout their lives, and especially at vulnerable points to improve their health and quality of life in a manner that builds community, maintains dignity and challenges inequities.

 

Through our own initiatives and in collaboration with others, we deliver programming that includes:

• Food programs, ranging from elementary nutrition to family grocery support to seniors’ lunches

• Seniors’ programs ranging from adult activity days to aging in place support

• Providing access to services such as advocacy, caregiver support, hospice, physical and mental health, and transportation.

​

People for a Healthy Community (PHC) is committed to providing a workplace that is free from discrimination and where all individuals have an equal opportunity to succeed. In accordance with the BC Human Rights Code, we will not discriminate against any person based on race, colour, ancestry, place of origin, Indigenous identity, religion, political belief, marital status, family status, physical or mental disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, or because of a conviction for an offence unrelated to employment. 

 

We are dedicated to creating an inclusive and equitable work environment that reflects the diverse communities of British Columbia. We still strive to identify and remove barriers to employment, and provide equitable opportunities for hiring, training, and promotion based on skills and abilities. All members of our team are expected to contribute to a respectful workplace where everyone is treated with dignity and has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
