PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE BC CANCER AGENCY ON VANCOUVER ISLAND AND THE INN AT LAUREL POINT
The BC Cancer Agency on Vancouver Island and the Inn at Laurel Point are proud to announce a partnership.
The Inn at Laurel Point hopes in a tangible way to ease the financial and emotional burden of those people undergoing treatment, while at the same time, support such a world-class research and treatment facility. Among the many elements of this partnership, the Inn at Laurel Point offers BC Cancer Agency patients special rates year round while they are undergoing care at the BC Cancer Agency’s Vancouver Island Centre.
The partnership is especially poignant for the Inn at Laurel Point because BC Cancer Agency and BC Cancer Foundation was a special interest of Mrs. Artie Arsens, the Inn at Laurel Point’s late patron. This partnership is a very fitting way to start honouring the legacy of such a great community minded lady.
Because the Inn at Laurel Point recognizes that people have different levels of comfort when it comes to accommodations, the offer is also good at Paul’s Motor Inn, owned by the Inn at Laurel Point.
