Hi! 🙂 We’re Tod and Jocelyn Maffin. We live on Vancouver Island, Canada.

In April, we invited Americans to visit and hundreds came.

Some liked the Island so much, they’re planning to move here.

Now, we and some friends are trying to recruit healthcare workers to our beautiful island. [read news article]

I have more questions

We occasionally interview local healthcare providers and subject experts to help you get answers to common questions you have. Here are some of those past sessions:

“Ask Your Questions” Sessions

Can I do this for my town?

Yes! And we can help!

A Final Word

In Canada, diversity isn't just tolerated — it's celebrated.

You can marry who you love, practice your faith, and express yourself without fear.

Our public healthcare system ensures that no one goes bankrupt from a broken leg or a chronic condition.

And our political climate, while imperfect, remains rooted in civility and a general sense of decency.

(Also, we believe in vaccines and science.)

If you’re looking for a place where your rights matter, where your kids can grow up safe, and where compassion still has a seat at the table — come north.
