All data was reselected to include Vancouver only to reduce ArcMap drawing times. Mental health site data was collected from the websites of each health authority then geocoded using the Province of British Columbia Geocoder Developer Toolkit available here. The sites were then added to ArcMap using x,y coordinates before beginning any analyses.
