The Seniors’ Advisory Committee invites you to another community outreach session, to be held Friday, October 18 at the Champlain Heights Community Centre, 3350 Maquinna Drive, from 10am-12:30pm.
The SAC will deal with administrative issues for 30 minutes, after which Barbara Kirby of the BC Association of Community Response Networks will give a presentation on elder abuse resources. Following her, Gillian Guilmant-Smith of the Vancouver Public Library will discuss the library’s strategic goals and how they affect older adults.
At 11am, we will invite guests to discuss any aging-related issues and concerns they have and what the City could possibly do to address them.
The meeting will be in the upstairs lounge and light refreshments will be served. We hope to see you there!
Lorna Gibbs, chair of the Southeast Vancouver Seniors’ Arts and Cultural Centre Society, speaking on the need for a seniors’ centre in Southeast Vancouver
Update: We had a good turn-out at this meeting. 25 members of the community joined us to comment on a wide variety of issues affecting older adults, particularly in the Southeast Vancouver region (comments will be reflected in our Meeting Minutes, to be posted shortly). We hope to have more such meetings at other community centres.
