Description
Do you work with seniors in the Lower Mainland? Are you a senior in LGBT2Q+ communities, or an ally? Do you want to gather with other older adults and service providers to shine a light on issues facing queer and trans seniors?
People of all cultures and backgrounds are invited to join us as we launch a new Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Two-Spirit, Queer/Questioning (LGBT2Q+) Community Response Network (CRN) for Seniors! Participation is free, with lunch included.

Participants are invited to arrive at 8:30 a.m. for registration and coffee.
Lend your voice to discussions around reducing vulnerability to isolation, abuse, neglect, and self neglect. Together, we can contribute to a province-wide movement to see a socially connected, equitable and safe future for queer and trans seniors.
