Senior Citizen Counsellors are volunteers appointed by the Ministry of Health and Ministry Responsible for Seniors to assist seniors with problems or concerns. Counsellors are usually seniors themselves. Counsellors are concerned, caring and interested in their fellow seniors. Counsellors are knowledgeable about services and resources for seniors.
Counsellors are active and involved members of their community.
Counsellors can put you in touch with other people or agencies that offer services and support. Counsellors are selected because they are trusted and respected members of their communities. There are Senior Citizen Counsellors in almost every community in British Columbia. Some documents on this Web site are in PDF format and require a PDF reader.
