The South Vancouver Neighbourhood House and the Seniors Hub are partnering with BC Healthy Communities to offer a workshop on Wednesday, January 4, 2017 from 4:30-8:30pm at Sunset Community Centre.

Our goal is that this workshop will help folks begin thinking about our inevitable - aging.   
The workshop will cover topics such as health, finances, housing, transportation and social connections so you can make the most of our later years.   A delicious dinner is also included so folks do not need to go home after work to eat.

Preregistration is required and the link to register is by clicking here.

Please share this opportunity with anyone you think would be interested in attending.

We hope to see you there!

The First Link Program® is a referral program designed to help newly diagnosed people with dementia get the help they need as soon as possible.

The Alzheimer Society of Canada provides services and support at the time of diagnosis and throughout the duration of the disease. Individuals and their families are linked to learning, services and support as early as possible in the disease process.

​First Link helps to assist physicians and health and community service providers to connect people living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias and their families with the Alzheimer Society.

For more information on how the First Link Program works, please visit this page on the Alzheimer Society of Canada website.
