We’re ready to welcome evacuees at the Community Resiliency Centre at the Schubert Centre.

The Community Resiliency Centre brings together services and supports for people who have been directly impacted by the wildfire and may need longer-term recovery assistance.

Our team is here to help connect evacuees with the information, resources and support they need as they navigate the days and weeks ahead.

Open Monday–Friday.

If you or someone you know has been impacted by the fire, please come by and let us help connect you with available supports.

If you don't have a family doctor, make sure you're on the Health Connect Registry. It could make all the difference.

➡️ https://www.healthlinkbc.ca/find-care/health-connect-registry

NexusBC has recently learned that more than 20,000 people in our area don't have a family doctor, but far fewer are registered on the Health Connect Registry, the system used to help match patients with available family physicians and nurse practitioners.

The good news? Our region is attracting more new physicians than in previous years. If you're on the Registry, you'll have a much better chance of being connected with one of these new healthcare providers.

Registering also helps the province identify where the need is greatest, supporting efforts to recruit more doctors and nurse practitioners to communities such as ours.

The Okanagan Indian Band is establishing a Community Resiliency Centre at the Schubert Centre in Vernon to support the transition from emergency response into recovery. The Centre will be available to OKIB members and non-member residents and will bring together information and services from government, health and non-government agencies.

NexusBC will be a part of the Resiliency Centre, and we will provide further details as they become available.

Who would make decisions for you if you couldn't?

A Representation Agreement is a legal document that allows you to appoint someone you trust to make - or help you make - medical, personal, and financial decisions if you ever become incapable of doing so yourself.

If you're not sure where to start, you're not alone. NexusBC offers free appointments with a Nidus-trained volunteer who can answer your questions, explain your options, and help you understand Representation Agreements and personal planning.

Call 250.545.0585 or book online here: https://nexusbc.ca/news-and-events/free-help-with-representation-agreements
