Staying Active

411 Seniors' Centre Society

As we get older, it's important to stay physically fit and keep our minds active.

The 411 Seniors Centre in Vancouver offers a host of activities to give seniors a place to keep learning, meet new people and stay active. The Centre also facilitates an advocacy training program that teaches seniors to advocate for themselves and others.

In 2006, Vancouver Foundation provided a $26,000 grant to support this organization in their efforts to provide training to seniors (six sites across the province) on advocacy skills so that seniors could advocate for themselves and others, on issues and services that are important to them.
