Lasqueti Last Resort Society hasn't added a story.
Lasqueti Island is located in the middle of Georgia Strait, between the Sunshine coast on the mainland and Vancouver Island. Transportation to our island is via a walk-on ferry running between French Creek on Vancouver Island to False Bay on Lasqueti Island. Our community is completely off the electric grid. Each community member is responsible for his or her own electricity through the use of solar panels, micro-hydro or wind power.
Because Lasqueti is a semi-remote island, residents’ access to
medical services is challenging. At this time, Lasqueti Island does
not have permanent facilities for our nurse, medical services or First
Responders awaiting Coast Guard or Air Ambulance. Our nurse currently
works out of the temporary teacher housing, which is an inadequate
facility. In addition, she also arranges clinics throughout the
year. The health centre will provide a secure space, medical
equipment, supplies and rooms for exams and services.
All community members must travel to Parksville, Nanaimo,
Courtenay, Victoria and Vancouver to receive medical care. Community
members discharged from the hospital must rely on volunteer community
support to assist them until they are able to take care of themselves
or return to their homes. A respite room will offer support for
temporary needs and recovery. Likewise, elderly members of our
community must rely on volunteer community support or leave the island
once they are unable to maintain their homes. The Cottages will offer
a home close to services for the elderly or those in need of temporary care.
