The Importance of Senior Centres

Senior centres play a fundamental role in the well-being of older adults, as they provide programming and services to meet the health and social needs of older adults in British Columbia.
In a new report, SFU researchers Laura Kadowaki, Andrea Wadman, Andrew Wister, and community partner Anthony Kupferschmidt examine how independent senior centres directly impact the health of older adults in British Columbia. With a growing population, the increasing need for funding to support sustainable health promotion programs for older adults is becoming more apparent. Senior centres are a source of support and connection for older adults in the community. You can download the report here  https://www.sfu.ca/grc/stories/blog/senior-centre-report.html
