e-HLbc welcomes Nicola Valley Institue of Technology and the BC Association of Kinsesiology to the consortium; the e-HLbc Marketing and Communications, Membership and Training Committees are seeking volunteers; and much more.



Welcome new members!

Nicola Valley Institute of Technology (NVIT) is now a member of e-HLbc. NVIT is considered “BC’s Aboriginal public post-secondary institute,” with campuses in Merrit and Vancouver. NVIT allows students to gain career training, upgrade skills and earn credits towards a Bachelors degree, Associates degree, diploma or certificate.

The BC Association of Kinesiologists (BCAK) joins e-HLbc as an affiliate member. Among BCAK's purposes are to promote and advance the interests of its over 500 members and to provide programs and services to its members.

With NVIT and BCAK on board, e-HLbc moves one step closer to its vision to provide the entire British Columbia academic and health care community with province-wide high quality, cost-effective and easily accessible health library resources.
