Connection. Information. Community.
Senior Support North Vancouver Island
Volunteer-led support that helps older adults and caregivers stay connected, informed and part of community life.
Serving communities since 1991
A local network of support
Support that starts with listening
Ageing can bring change, new questions and fewer everyday connections. The Society's trained volunteers offer time, practical information and respectful peer support.
Every conversation begins with the person: what matters to them, what they are looking for and whether a current program is a suitable fit.
- 1 Personal
Support is shaped around the older adult or caregiver, not a one-size-fits-all path.
- 2 Volunteer-led
Trained volunteers provide community-based peer support, not professional counselling.
- 3 Connected
Local knowledge helps people identify community resources and meaningful next steps.
What we do
Four ways to connect
Programs focus on companionship, practical navigation, caregiver wellbeing and connection across generations.
Navigate
Practical help finding information, community resources and a sensible next step.
