While there are the many supports and services available within the community, knowing how to access them can be overwhelming; the session will provide insights into how to effectively access and utilize these resources.
“The District of Central Saanich is committed to fostering a strong, informed, and resilient community and ensuring residents of all ages enjoy a great quality of life,” said Mayor Ryan Windsor. “Through initiatives like the Lunch N' Learn sessions, we aim to empower our residents and connect them to the many wonderful resources we have in our community.”
“Lunch and learns are a great way for seniors to gather, socialize and learn. These sessions will provide valuable information and resources about the many programs and services in community to support and enhance healthy aging and share practical ways to keep you safe and prepared for emergencies.” said Jennifer Van es, Director of Beacon Community Services. “Remaining independent has many benefits for individuals, communities and society as a whole. Beacon’s senior services, led by a team of over 200 compassionate volunteers help to set up a continuum of programs and services for older adults on the Peninsula. We are pleased to be able to respond to the needs of our community in this way.”
