“Supporting seniors to remain independent was one of the highest priorities of our Premier’s Council on Aging and Seniors’ Issues. I’m pleased to see government moving forward to develop this partnership with the United Way of the Lower Mainland, as the support will help people remain near family and friends and stay active in their communities.”
- Patricia Baird, chair of the Premier’s Council on Aging and Seniors’ Issues and member of the Seniors’ Healthy Living Network

“The grants offered through the Seniors’ Housing and Support Initiative are a great asset to local governments across the province. We all see in our own communities how the population is aging, and grants that support active aging and age-friendly communities are an important component in sustainable community planning.”
- Susan Gimse, president of the Union of BC Municipalities

“Assisted Living meets the needs of many seniors to live their lives as independently as possible, for as long as possible. With the opening of Cedars at Beulah Gardens, VCH has now opened over 880 assisted living units across our region since 2003, and is well on track to reaching our goal of having almost 1,000 such units available to residents by December.”
- Ida Goodreau, president and CEO of Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH)
