Lorna Gibbs
We, at the Vancouver Seniors Hub would like to share with you the recognition that Lorna Gibbs received on November 9th, when she was awarded the 2016 SFU Gerontology Leadership Award.

​Lorna has fought long and hard to improve the lives of community members throughout Vancouver and she continues to do so and we are so proud and honoured to have her as a community partner, but even more so as our friend.

​Congratulations Lorna!

Lorna Gibbs is a vibrant, articulate, passionate leader in bringing about positive change, whether it is for seniors, the local environment, or securing additional park or daycare spaces.

Tenacious in her efforts to improve the lives of seniors, she has served as President of South Vancouver Seniors Arts and Cultural Society, Chair of the Seniors of South Van Neighbourhood House and President of Southeast Vancouver Seniors Centre Society.

Through the South Vancouver Seniors Council she has been a tireless advocate for a dedicated Seniors Centre for South Vancouver.

​Lorna tackles every issue with enormous energy and focus, inspiring her peers to get involved. In her own words, Lorna says that her work makes her life worth living and in turn she hopes it enriches others.

Also, here is a wonderful article about Lorna that was in the Courier newspaper July 6, 2016, titled "Lifetime: Going to bat" by Sandra Thomas... click here to read
