Today, June 15 is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. We love our seniors and encourage everyone to share their time and talents to provide awareness and prevention of #elderabuse. We are pleased to provide funding for senior's programs across our regions.
Earlier this year, Chilliwack Senior Peer Counsellors was a recipient of a $6,000 First West Foundation Community Response Fund grant through the Envision Financial, a division of First West Credit Union Community Endowment supporting the training of specialized senior peer counsellors.
Additionally, the Seniors Services Society of BC received a $20,000 First West Foundation Community Response Fund grant, through the same endowment supporting a part-time navigator to help vulnerable seniors with digital access, resources and assistance.
