Yakimovich Wellness Centre

Since 2006, Eldercare has supported 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.

The Centre is located at Hillside Seniors Health Centre, 1454 Hillside Avenue. It seats up to 60 people and has a full complement of AV equipment. It is open for staff and public education within Island Health as well as external community groups and there is no charge to use the space. If you are interested in using the facility please contact, Liz McCarter: 250-580-3034 or by email: Elizabeth.McCarter@islandhealth.ca.

Did you know? The Yakimovich Wellness Centre was made possible thanks to a $1M gift made in 2003 by Olga Yakimovich on behalf of her late husband George Yakimovich and her family. From humble beginnings, George and Olga’s business and finance acumen led to much success in property development and extraordinary philanthropy in the community.
