Meet REACH BC, a provincial platform that connects volunteers and researchers to enable health research studies and clinical trials across BC.

Since January, the REACH BC team has heard insightful feedback from different users — from patients to researchers — across engagement events.

With spring comes renewed energy and excitement for the year ahead. Alongside integrating and advancing the Research Ethics Harmonization Initiative, Clinical Trials British Columbia remains focused on key projects and valuable deliverables.

Canada’s Clinical Research Workforce Strategy is a national initiative that aims to standardize roles, define career pathways, and ensure equitable access to trials across the country

In fall 2025, Clinical Trials British Columbia and GSK Canada jointly initiated and co-hosted an industry-focused roundtable on clinical trials in BC.

As the new year rolls in, Clinical Trials British Columbia continues to integrate research ethics into its core mandate. This move further galvanizes the connection between BC’s research ethics community and the provincial clinical trials landscape.
