As the Tri-Cities' population ages, seniors' issues become community issues.
Thus, the Glen Pine 50Plus Society is hosting the Tri-Cities Seniors Forum next month.
The forum is an opportunity for people to work together to create a healthy, caring and inclusive community for current older adults and to plan for the future needs of the region's growing seniors population in creating an age-friendly community.
This forum is for those living and working in the Tri-Cities who are connected to services, programs and initiatives designed for, with and by seniors.
People will be invited to learn more about population trends, existing services and the needs facing older people today. Participants will also develop potential strategies to meet the needs of our community by learning and working together.
The forum is the third stage of a community consultation process that has included research, data collection and focus group discussions as part of the Tri-Cities Seniors Network Project, which is funded by United Way of the Lower Mainland and hosted by Glen Pine 50plus Society
Tri-Cities Seniors Forum will run from noon to 4 p.m. Tuesday, April 3 at Glen Pine Pavilion, 1200 Glen Pine Crt., Coquitlam. Lunch will be provided. There is no cost to attend but participants must register - preferably early as space is limited.
To register, call Glen Pine Pavilion at 604-927-6940 or Dogwood Pavilion at 604-927-6089, quoting barcode 390924.
