Welcome to the Fraser Health’s Health Protection web site.
About us:
Fraser Health is responsible for the delivery of hospital and community-based health services to over 1.9 million people in 20 diverse communities from Burnaby to Fraser Canyon on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territories of the Coast Salish and Nlaka’pamux Nations, and is home to six Métis Chartered Communities.
The department of Health Protection in Fraser Health is responsible for regulating and monitoring many public facilities and those aspects of the environment that have a direct impact on public health. Our major areas of responsibilities include:
Environmental Health Services which ensure that the Public Health Act, Drinking Water Protection Act, Tobacco and Vapour Products Control Act, Food Safety Act and associated regulations are met to protect the health and safety of the public.
Community Care Facilities Licensing which is a program that ensures the Community Care and Assisted Living Act and associated regulations are met in licensed child daycare programs and residential care facilities to protect the health and safety of persons in care.
