Mayne Island Health Center and Emergency Medical Evacuation Heliport

The Mayne Island Health Centre Association (MICHA) was incorporated as a non-profit society in 1975. Managed by a local board of directors, the association was formed with the following objectives:

To manage the community health centre (HC)
To participate in the formulation of objectives, priorities and programming of health services;
To be active in achieving an integrated system of health, with all its related services.

The HC opened in 1976. In 2007, the Mayne Island Improvement District (MIID) took responsibility for its maintenance and renovation. However, MICHA continues to manage it.

Garbage Collection and Removal

Garbage Collection and Removal has been organized by agreement with an independent contractor/operator. This service is operated on a fee-per-bag basis with the fee being collected by the operator. Prepaid tickets to attach to the bags may be purchased at the Home Hardware Building Supply store.

The service is operated properly and promptly with pick-up at the “curb” on Mondays (or the Tuesday following a holiday Monday) and garbage is hauled to a licensed landfill off-island;
