The findings of the 2019-2025 Esquimalt’s Health Journey provide Council with a solid baseline of information related to the current health status of Esquimalt’s residents. In addition, it provides a number of recommendations to help respond to the health issues faced by the residents. These recommendations are based on a careful analysis of the data collected by the study and represent the latest thinking on how to respond to the health needs of Esquimalt’s residents. In addition, the Community Healthcare System Support Playbook provides numerous recommendations for actions to help communities support their health care workers.
In January, 2026, Committee of the Whole recommend that Council direct staff to provide administrative support for the creation of a select committee to support improving Esquimalt primary care, co-chaired by Mayor Desjardins and
Councillor Boardman.
