VOLUNTEER COWICHAN Invites You to Our Aging Well Senior’ Expo!

re You Aging Well? Are you making healthy choices to lead a fulfilling life? Are the older adults in your life aging well? Do you want to learn about the wide range of resources, supports and services available to help keep you active, healthy, and independent as you age? There are many variables to consider when making life choices as we age. Information is the key element to support you and your loved ones make informed decisions. Learn more at Volunteer Cowichan’s Third Aging Well Seniors’ Expo Friday June 10th from 10 am to 3 pm in the Multipurpose Hall at the Cowichan Community Centre. Free admission and door prizes to be won! We’re connecting Cowichan Valley seniors, caregivers, neighbours and family members with businesses and organizations to support older adults with a range of information, resources and services related to: health, financial, legal, medical, physical-care, volunteer opportunities and more! With over 24, 000 seniors aged 65 and older in the Cowichan Region. Volunteer Cowichan is committed to keeping older adults informed and independent as they age. Our existing programs, Cowichan Region Better at Home and Cowichan Social Prescribing are doing a lot to support older adults. This event expands on our dedication to seniors and community.
