Directory
Public Health Units Across Canada
The official public health body for each province and territory.
13 verified listings · last refreshed 2026-11-14
This directory is about public-health bodies: the offices responsible for health protection work such as inspection, immunization and communicable disease control, organized province by province and territory by territory. It is not the regional health authorities directory — those authorities deliver most day-to-day care, while the bodies listed here carry the public-health side of the system.
How public health is organized differs across Canada. Ontario is served by local public health units, so the Ontario entry links the province's official listing of all of them; Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Labrador link their official public health office listings; and where a province or territory has no single unit, the entry links the chief public health office, the provincial public health institute or the department that carries public health. This is a listing only: no services, programs or eligibility claims are stated here. Entries are re-checked on the Second Pass volatile schedule.
