Hi! 🙂 We’re Tod and Jocelyn Maffin. We live in Nanaimo, which is on Vancouver Island, Canada.
In April 2025, we invited American healthcare workers to visit. Hundreds came. Some liked the Island so much, they moved here.
Now, we and some friends are trying to recruit more healthcare workers to our beautiful island. [read news article]

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
Yes! And we can help!
Canada’s Healthcare Infusions
We’ve collected the most commonly asked questions (and answers) about everything from immigration, family, banking, care, and more.

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.
You’ll like it here.

Tod and Jocelyn 🙂
