Midwifery Care North Shore (MCNS) is a well-established Lower Lonsdale community practice located at Quayside Village. MCNS was the first practice to be established on the North Shore when midwifery became regulated in British Columbia in 1998.

Vera and her colleagues are committed to actively involving women in care and to providing a personalized service during pregnancy, labor and postpartum. We aim to assist each woman feel that she ...
