Seniors' Programs

South Vancouver Seniors Council

The Seniors' Council is a dedicated group of seniors who provide advocacy to seniors in Southeast Vancouver in a number of ways. We hold information sessions on issues affecting seniors; we identify assets and gaps in community services/programs and produce a newsletter highlighting the efforts of volunteers and examples of best practices within the community. We are in the midst of some very interesting work assisting in the development of a seniors centre in Southeast Vancouver and collaborating with other seniors and senior organizations on a transportation strategy for this area.

We are looking for senior women and menn 55+ from all cultures with specific skills or experience in newsletter production, fundraising, serving on a board, public speaking and advocacy. We offer monthly orientation, training, support and recognition. If you have time and energy and would like to use your existing skills, please contact us.
