“As a new grad who moved across the country to pursue this career and learn new treatment techniques, BC Cancer was a great place to start my career…I love being in the mountains! There are incredible lakes, hikes, and four definable seasons. Kelowna is definitely great for those with an outdoor lifestyle.”

B.C.’s biggest city has a vibrant urban core and outlying areas include welcoming neighbourhoods that reflect the multiculturalism of the city.
