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.

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
