All appointments booked on those dates will occur at the Florence Filberg Centre at 411 Anderton Avenue in Courtenay, 9 kilometres from Glacier Gardens.
Everyone affected will be directly contacted and notified. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Some great information for families to help prepare for the coming winter. The only thing to note is that we are not yet sure who/where will have the most available influenza vaccines. We will do our best to keep you informed!

Both the flu (influenza) and COVID-19 are contagious and will be spreading this fall and winter. They have similar symptoms, so it can be hard to tell them apart. Make sure your child gets a flu shot, ideally by the end of October or sooner.​

Our online booking system is now up and running! Please go to highland.cortico.ca to book an appointment or check it out! Some appointments will still need to be booked by phone. Refer to the site for more details!
As well, as we enter phase '2' of BC's reopening, we know that physical distancing is still the best way to maintain a low level of COVID 19 activity. We will still be operating at our full hours, but will continue to do phone appointments as much as possible, to keep everyone safe. In person appointments will still be used as necessary.
We are continuing to update our office space and practices to allow for as much physical distancing as possible.
