BC CEAS has been working to prevent abuse to seniors for sixteen years. Our members are from all over the province and include seniors, senior citizen counsellors, senior peer counsellors, seniors groups and organizations, community agencies, organizations and advocates, as well as multicultural groups and organizations, government bodies, police and criminal justice, community response networks, health victims services and others. BC CEAS has a very active Board, made up of 18 members. Over two-thirds are seniors who bring their lifetime of knowledge and experience to our organization. We believe in using the knowledge of seniors to guide us in everything we undertake.
Seniors participate on all our project committees, board committees and focus groups.
When we are producing educational materials, videos, or working on projects, we first consult with as many seniors as possible to be sure that our work reflects the realities of their lives, knowledge and the needs of seniors. We include a brochure with this newsletter. Please consider joining us. The fee is very reasonable in order to allow as many people as possible to be able to participate. The speakers and workshops are excellent.
