A Message from B.C.’s Seniors Advocate
We want seniors to be safe and to help stop the spread of COVID-19 by staying at home. Many people want to help seniors who are self-isolating by offering a friendly voice to talk to, picking up the groceries and medications they may need and making sure seniors do not feel alone during these difficult times.
Safe Seniors, Strong Communities is a new initiative funded by the government in partnership with the Better at Home program, bc211 and community agencies throughout B.C. It matches people who want to help, with the seniors who need help.
After registering by calling 2-1-1 or visiting the bc211.ca, you will be matched with the local COVID-19 community response agency nearest to you.
