Open Board Forums
Open to the public; our Open Board Forums are an opportunity to join a conversation with our Board of Directors.
Open Board Forum
Every year, Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) holds three Open Board Forums to provide an opportunity for community members to hear directly from and engage with the organization’s senior leaders.
The next Open Board Forum is a telephone town hall with outreach to First Nations Métis and Inuit members across the VCH region, as well as service providers and staff. It will be held on June 5, 2024, from 6 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. You can register for this telephone town hall and learn more here.
During the session, VCH senior leaders will provide updates on public health, discuss health services and programs and open up a conversation on providing culturally safe care for Indigenous Peoples. Participants will also have opportunities to share questions or comments directly with the VCH Board of Directors and senior leadership.
The last Open Board Forum was focused on the South Sunshine Coast and was held on March 13, 2024. To access this recording or any previous Open Board Forum, please refer to the links below under past presentations.
We would like to recognize this Open Board Forum will be conducted from the self-governing treaty territory of the Tla’amin Nation, and that VCH provides care on the traditional territories of fourteen First Nations. We invite members of First Nations, Métis and Inuit, as well as Indigenous service providers and organizations across the VCH region, to join this virtual conversation.
