We have just returned from our second stay at the Island Estuary with hosts Lynda and Ted. We stayed with them for a short time last year and couldn't wait to return. This year we booked for the whole of our 10 day stay in Ladysmith. We had such a wonderful welcome, it felt as though we were home from... More

I am a 4th year medical student from UBC and over the last 3 years have had the opportunity to do 2 week or one month rotations in Ladysmith and at the Nanaimo General Hospital.
