A special event to inform Tri-City residents about seniors' housing options is planned for April 20 at Winslow Centre in Coquitlam.
The Senior's Housing Forum runs from 9:30 a.m. to 2p.m. and will feature a vendor fair and presentations about what types of seniors' housing are available and how to plan for making the transition. Among the speakers will be Isobel Mackenzie, B.C.'s seniors advocate, who will speak on housing and subsidies.
Presented by the Tri-Cities Seniors Planning Network and CARP (Canadian Association of Retired Persons), the event is free but space is limited. A free lunch will also be provided.
