Community service providers
Dignity Seniors Society (DSS) is comprised of a group of 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals who are committed to providing information and advocacy to service providers that serve or potentially serve our communities. We hope that you find what you are looking for on our website, but please feel free to contact us with your questions, requests or suggestions.
We are committed to building our communities and connecting our 2SLGBTQIA+ seniors with services and people who can support them in their later years. As 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals, we understand some of our complex issues such as: isolation, dating and sex in latter years, coming out or transitioning as a senior, building or losing a chosen family and much more. DSS works closely with community partners such as QMUNITY, WESN, HiM and others to support their existing 2SLGBTQIA+ seniors’ programming and fill identified service gaps.
