The German - Canadian - Benevolent - Society is offering
social activities for German speaking seniors in Greater Vancouver

 

Since 2008 German-speaking seniors from Vancouver have been
meeting for an informal gathering with coffee, cake and a German
language film in the library of the German Canadian Care Home.

Every last Saturday of the month a movie is shown and twice a year
there is a sing-along.
The gatherings are very popular and very well attended!

A questionnaire had been sent out to society members to get
feedback regarding wishes of the membership.
The results highlighted the demand for events, but also for
a friendly visit program for German speaking seniors living
independently at home. The Outreach Program will therefore
develop a volunteer visitor service.

The Board of the Society supports and finances these projects.
If you have any questions regarding the Outreach Program, or if you are
an aspiring Volunteer for home visits, please contact our Coordinator
for the Outreach Program.
