Site amenities

 

There is no bank machine in BC Cancer – Vancouver. We previously had one on site but this was removed due to low use. You can find ATMs for TD, BMO, RBC and HSBC on Broadway between Laurel and Cambie. There is an ATM for Scotiabank at City Square Shopping Centre. All are within a few blocks of the Centre. 

 

 

The cafeteria is open to patients and their families from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Monday to Friday. It is on the ground floor, on your left once you pass the elevators in the main lobby.


There is also a wide array of eateries a block away on West Broadway, and at City Square Shopping Centre there is a ground-floor food court. 

 

 

Located on the main level in BC Cancer – Vancouver, the Information Centre offers a wide range of material (books, audio tapes, DVDs) relating to cancer that can be borrowed. A Volunteer will help you sign out the materials.

 

 

There is a comfort cart that circulates BC Cancer – Vancouver and is operated by our volunteers. You can receive complimentary tea, coffee and snacks from this team.
