We are honored that the important work of Dignity Seniors Society was recognised through this important funding from the Government of Canada’s Community Services Recovery Fund.
“I am continually impressed by the passion, dedication, and creativity of community service organizations, like Dignity Seniors Society. I am equally proud the Government of Canada has supported their important work through the Community Services Recovery Fund. By investing in these organizations and their projects we can help to create a more just and equitable society, where everyone has opportunities to succeed. I look forward to seeing the positive impact of this investment in British Columbia over the years to come.”

... (cont'd) This funding supported us in rebuild our organization, following the devastating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our services. This timely, supportive, and encouraging vote of confidence has inspired our Board to move forward with our pre-COVID-19 strategic plan for building capacity in all aspects of our organization.
We are committed to using this funding to implement our 2022-2023 needs assessment on 2SLGBTQIA+ seniors in B.C., which includes 25 recommendations to improve the lives of 2SLGBTQIA+ seniors in B.C.
With this funding and the support of our other funders, we can work towards making a positive impact on the lives of 2SLGBTQIA+ seniors in our community.
