Completing the transition to our new database is a priority. We appreciate your patience.

In the province of British Columbia there is legislation to protect and promote the health, safety, and well-being of vulnerable children, youth, adults and seniors in licensed community care facilities.  

The rules and guidelines for licensed community care facilities are found in the Community Care and Assisted Living Act, Child Care Licensing Regulation and Residential Care Regulation and in the Director of Licensing Standards of Practice. 

Island Health's Community Care Facilities Licensing Program investigates all allegations of Operations in Contravention of the Community Care and Assisted Living Act. 

A child care map in British Columbia is available to look up information about programs and services offered in licensed child care facilities.
