“where people care about each other”

Transportation Survey

Once, getting around was as simple as getting in your car. For most of us, things are more complicated now. We need to hear about your transportation challenges – are you able to do your banking, have your hair done and get to medical appointments when you want to or are you having issues?

Click here to fill in a short questionnaire developed by the University of British Columbia, to help us understand what Salt Spring needs for its 4,000 seniors. The information is confidential and will be aggregated – no one will know who you are or contact you.

What we do…

The Salt Spring Seniors Services Society is a not-for-profit organization that strives to enhance and improve the lives of those aging on Salt Spring Island.

We host Lunches and Coffee Clubs where Seniors can meet, provide space for recreational activities like Mah Jong and bridge, and support our choirs and other musical groups. Our volunteers drive people to their medical appointments, both on and off the Island.

We receive funding from government and community groups for some of our programs, but we rely on generous community donations to keep our operations going. You can use e-transfer, credit card, cheque or simply come into the centre to make a cash donation. Any donation $20 or more is tax deductible.

We appreciate all contributions.
