About

The Society’s mission is to empower seniors as they age by developing programs that entertain, stimulate and engage seniors in our larger community.
Established in 1987, Salt Spring Seniors Services Society is a not-for-profit organization whose mandate is to better the lives of seniors. By harnessing resources in the community, the Society also strives to minimize isolation through rides programs and outreach.

Our activities and programs promote:

• Socialization through games, crafts, morning coffee and the arts
• Physical health opportunities through hearing seminars, addiction and peer counselling groups, medical foot care, etc.
• Mental health via our free lending library, volunteer activities and mentoring
• Mobility through our off-island medical rides as well as on-island transportation for essential services
• Financial relief through affordable and nutritious lunches and free tax preparation for low-income applicants.

The Society is staffed almost entirely by volunteers. Since there is no age limit to join, all community groups are welcome to submit ideas for multi-generational dialogue. If you would like to volunteer please Contact us at 250-537-4604 or Email us at: saltspringseniors@shaw.ca
