The BC Centre for Disease Control works to improve the wellbeing of all people and communities living on the territories of many distinct First Nations in what is colonially known as British Columbia. We are grateful to all the First Nations who have cared for and nurtured the lands and waters around us from time immemorial, including the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation), and səl̓ílwətaʔ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation) on whose unceded and ancestral territory our head office is located.

From March to June, you can expect to encounter more ticks in BC — especially when you’re hiking or camping around tall grassy areas or forests. The Western blacklegged tick and the Rocky Mountain wood tick are the two most common species in the province. Some ticks can carry bacteria that cause Lyme disease and other types of infections.

To protect yourself, take steps to avoid tick bites, and remove ticks that become attached to you, your children or your pets as quickly as possible. To learn more about tick prevention and how to safely remove them, visit bccdc.ca/ticks.
