Seniors Centres are where our seniors gather on a regular basis, and they serve as hubs for the various Neighbourhood Helpers programs. Created in response to rapid gentrification, VSMS operates two seniors centres: One in the Downtown Eastside and another in Downtown South. By establishing safe spaces that are tailored for seniors, we help improve the lives of many seniors who live in Downtown Vancouver’s single residency occupancy units. Our centres are facilitated and operated through the assistance of volunteers, many of whom are seniors themselves.
