Our library locations are situated across First Nations traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories and we are grateful to live and work on these lands. We respectfully extend our library services across what is commonly known as British Columbia and the Yukon and we acknowledge the continued resilience of the First Nations Peoples, the Métis people, and the Inuit, whom we serve in these areas.
For more information, please see our About Us page.

The BC Cancer library system consists of a central library at Vancouver Centre (VC), and branches in Abbotsford (AC), Kelowna (SAHCSI), Prince George (CN), Surrey (FVC), and Victoria (VIC). All centres have patient resource collections in our Cancer Information Centres (CIC), and all centres have a professional collection on site. Professional resources for CN are housed in the adjacent UHNBC Library.
