What stands out about this program

Subspecialty exposure through longitudinal clinic days in mixed blocks across four years, instead of four-week rotations.
From “Program curriculum” on the CaRMS page
Community-based pediatric residency base in Surrey, at a designated Regional Pediatric Centre.
From “Training sites” on the CaRMS page

This is the Fraser site of the UBC pediatric residency, launched in July 2023 and based in Surrey.
Residents spend 6-16 weeks per year at BC Children's Hospital in Vancouver, with most other training in the Fraser region.
Subspecialty exposure is mainly delivered through longitudinal outpatient clinic days rather than single blocks.

The summary is written by CdnMD from the program’s CaRMS description.

What this means

A position can go unfilled because of where the site is, because it is open to IMGs only or to another restricted stream, or because the quota changed late.
It says nothing about the quality of the training or how heavy the workload is.
A site’s numbers are shown when it had positions open after round 1 in at least 2 of 8 years or at least 3 in one year.
