Bobbi Symes, Director of Healthy Aging, Victoria Consultation, October 16, 2023 Over the last three weeks, United Way BC Healthy Aging has visited Vancouver, Langley, Kelowna, Kamloops, Terrace, Prince George, Creston, Victoria and Nanaimo, where we discussed the many ways we can work together to enhance the lives of older adults across BC through community collaboration and enhanced programming! While meeting together in-person has been fruitful and powerful, we know that this is not always possible. To ensure all voices are heard and valued equally, we’re announcing a fully virtual Provincial Consultation on October 24, 2023 from 11:00AM-1:30PM PST. If you have not been able to attend in-person, this is your chance to join us virtually to provide your feedback in the development of United Way BC Healthy Aging’s new Program and Service Design Model before we move onto the next steps. See registration information below.
