At TYDEL FOODS, we’ve launched a petition because what’s happening to our seniors in British Columbia is not acceptable - and it’s time people understood exactly why.
This petition lays it out clearly:
1- First - the reality
Seniors are living on fixed incomes that have NOT kept up with rising costs.
Housing is up. Food is up. Utilities are up.
Everything is up.
But their income isn’t.
2- Second - the impact
Because of this, seniors are now:
• Facing food insecurity
• Struggling to keep stable housing
• Living in constant stress just trying to survive
3- Third - the hidden truth
When a senior loses a spouse, they often drop to a single pension.
That one loss can push them straight into poverty - with no safety net.
4- Fourth - the burden falling on community.
Organizations like ours, and many others, are stepping in to fill the gaps - but we should NOT be the system.
We are support…
5- Fifth - what dignity actually means
This petition makes one thing clear:
Seniors deserve access to:
• Affordable housing
• Nutritious food
• Necessary medications
Not as a privilege - as a BASIC right to age with dignity.
⸻
AND HERE’S WHAT THIS PETITION IS DEMANDING
We are calling on the Government of British Columbia to:
1. Strengthen supports for seniors facing rising costs
2. Improve food security programs so seniors can actually eat properly
3. Recognize and support community organizations doing this work
4. Ensure access to safe, affordable housing
5. Make medications affordable and accessible
This isn’t complicated.
These are basic, human needs.
⸻
SO WHY DOES THIS MATTER TO YOU?
Because this is not “their” problem.
This is:
• Your parents
• Your grandparents
• Your neighbors
• And one day… it could be YOU
The way we treat our seniors says everything about who we are as a community.
⸻
AND HERE’S THE TRUTH PEOPLE NEED TO HEAR:
Nothing will change unless people show up.
Not online.
Not by talking about it.
👉 By physically coming in and signing.

We need names. We need voices. We need pressure.
Because governments don’t move because of good intentions -
they move when communities stand together and demand it.
⸻
THIS IS THAT MOMENT
You can walk past this…
Or you can be part of changing it.
Stand with our seniors.
Stand with your community.
Come in. Sign the petition.
Be counted.
