Why BC Cancer – Kelowna?

BC’s interior region is an amazing winter playground for snow sports enthusiasts, and an equally fantastic summer destination for water adventures like kayak, canoe, stand-up paddleboard or pedal boat – offered right in downtown Kelowna! Big White Ski Resort is less than an hour drive from town, and offers a resort-style setting with amenities for downhill skiing and snowboarding, along with fat biking, snowmobiling, and any other winter sport you can think of. Come summer time, stop at roadside fruit stands for delicious Okanagan fresh fruit, and head out for the multitude of parks and beaches along Kelowna’s shoreline.

The centres are fast paced with daytime hours, and tasks vary throughout each shift, collaborating with colleagues throughout different departments. Unit Clerks are valued members of the BC Cancer Centre teams, working in areas such as Systemic Therapy Program, Radiation Therapy Program, Radiation/Medical Daycare Unit, Surgical Oncology, Ambulatory Clinic, Research Labs and Clinical Trials.
