We’re Stronger & Happier Together
Our community is the foundation of our values. Victoria is a special place, and we take great pride in actively engaging with and supporting our local community. Leading the charge is our CEO (Chief Eyecare Officer), Mary Lou Newbold, who also serves as the President of Think Local First, a non-profit society dedicated to promoting and empowering Victoria’s independent businesses.

Land Acknowledgement
We respect and acknowledge the lək̓ʷəŋən People, a subset of the Coast Salish, also known today as the Esquimalt and Songhees Nations, on whose territory we do our work. Our clinic recognizes the colonization, attitudes, and systems that have been put in place that have drastically altered Indigenous Peoples relationship with the land.
We as a team recognize the importance of educating ourselves on the systemic oppression of settler generations that has greatly changed the lives of Indigenous Peoples. We place the utmost importance on reconciliation and will continue to aid in this effort however we can.
