Hi, I recently became sexually active and I was wondering about your birth control program. Do you give out the pill for free? Thanks.

Sorry, we don’t have a birth control program at our two Vancouver clinics as we focus on sexually transmitted infections at these two clinics.

I would recommend having a look at our clinic finder. Just select what city you are in and for “offering this service” select birth control in the drop down menu. It will give you a list of clinics that offer birth control. Some youth clinics will provide the pill for free; just give them a call to see if the one in your area does.

You can also call the options for sexual health sex sense line on 1-800-739-7367, your discussion with them is confidential and they can direct you to the birth control services you are looking for.
