British Columbia 2024 Provincial Summit on Aging!

 Dear National Partners,

United Way British Columbia's Healthy Aging is delighted to invite you to the 2024 Provincial Summit on Aging on November 6 &7, 2024 as a national virtual delegate! 

The fourth biennial Provincial Summit on Aging brings together Community-Based Seniors’ Services (CBSS) organizations, older adults, family and friend caregivers, academia, and government representatives to discuss and collaborate on current issues and innovations in healthy aging.

While the in-person event will be held in Richmond, BC, virtual participants can engage and enjoy multiple live-streaming sessions and recorded content, an in-conference app, connection with exhibitors, networking, and more, through our dedicated Whova platform (app will be live closer to the event date).
