Eldercare supports free senior-focused workshops at the Yakimovich Wellness Centre, part of our longstanding commitment to advance knowledge and support people on their aging journey.
Thanks to our dedicated partners at Island Health and a volunteer advisory committee, free public sessions run year-round at the Centre, located at 1454 Hillside Avenue. Check out the Yakimovich Wellness Centre page to learn about upcoming events.
Though sessions run year-round, every March Embrace Aging Month showcases approximately a dozen sessions on topics ranging from Advance Care Planning to Fall Prevention to Keeping your Brain Healthy.
In the photo above, participants from March 2024 enjoy a session on senior safety and scam prevention, jointly presented by Constable Berle Zwaan from the Saanich Police Department Community Engagement Division, and Target Theatre, a local society providing a voice for older people using entertaining and informative theatre for more than 30 years.
