Meet the Visioning Steering Committee
The GPSC is pleased to introduce the 12 members on its Visioning Steering Committee, which is working to help the GPSC identify its priorities and plans for the next three to five years and to influence the future of primary care in BC.
The selection team chose the six physician representatives from 25 nominees submitted by the divisions. The methodology employed for candidate selection ensured equitable representation from the health authority regions and rural/suburban/urban geographies, and gave consideration to the physicians’ length of time in practice, their skills, and their competencies.

- Mark Armitage, Ministry of Health
- Dr Shelley Ross, Doctors of BC
- Dr Peter Barnsdale, Doctors of BC
