B.C. Seniors’ Week 2022
B.C. Seniors’ Week runs June 5-11. This year’s recognition of over one million seniors in the province is particularly important as we emerge from the pandemic and start to resume normal activities again. Most Seniors’ Week events typically held in communities across the province have been postponed for the last two years due to the pandemic. This year, however, Seniors’ Week presents us with opportunities to reconnect and celebrate together in person.
