Helping Seniors Live Well

Seniors' Healthy Living Secretariat

British Columbians are approaching the challenges and opportunities ahead collaboratively, recognizing that preparing for an aging population is a shared responsibility. The Seniors’ Healthy Living Secretariat has a broad stewardship role for implementation of the Seniors' Healthy Living Framework across government and with other important partners.

The Secretariat builds upon successful programs that support older people, makes sure information on these programs is easy to find and understand and forges innovative partnerships with others who play an important role in the lives of older people – such as local government, business and community organizations.

Through a new Seniors' Healthy Living Network with individuals and organizations from across the province, the Secretariat will benefit from the knowledge and expertise of these leaders as it works to implement the Framework.
