Vision
Through community building and engagement, Vancouver Second Mile Society aims to see low-income seniors in Vancouver’s urban core live healthy, fulfilling lives.
In a society where seniors are increasingly isolated and undervalued, we collaborate directly with low-income seniors to build and strengthen their capacity to help themselves and one another.
