Victorians spent more time, on average, waiting to get into a walk-in clinic than anywhere in the country, according to data from Medimap.

The company, which posts real-time wait times for hundreds of walk-in clinics across Canada, says waits in Victoria averaged 161 minutes in 2021 — well above the No. 2 city, Kelowna, at 91 minutes.

Medimap’s Walk-in Clinic Wait Time Index for 2021 shows British Columbians waited more than twice as long — 58 minutes — to see a physician at a walk-in clinic than the national average of 25 minutes. The data is for 2021 and comes from more than 1,200 walk-in clinics across the country that subscribe to Medimap’s services.
