"SafeCare BC is a fabulous organization; they have been instrumental in bridging a gap in the industry.
They’re not necessarily at the forefront of where to go for resources, though, and they should be."

"The BC Association of Kinesiologists has been exceptionally
pleased with its affiliation with SafeCare BC, since joining.
Despite not being an association specifically related to
continuing care, we greatly appreciated the guidance that
SafeCare BC provided in enhancing our member infection
prevention and control policies and with the webinars
specifically tailored to our members to help them return
to work safely and dependably during the second phase of
the pandemic.”
