In this case, it’s good to not be on top. Victoria has ceded its title of having Canada’s longest walk-in clinic wait times in an annual survey released by Medimap.

The Canadian health tech company’s 2023 index shows that B.C.’s capital has dropped from 161 minutes in 2022 — the then-highest average wait in Canada as measured by Medimap — to 137 minutes this year.

That puts Victoria just behind North Vancouver, found to have the longest waits in the country at 160 minutes, on average, but it was still the second-highest overall.
