Lionsview Seniors' Planning Society

We are a strong voice for North Shore seniors, supporting seniors' engagement in community. We can trace our roots back to the mid 1980’s.

In 2016, Lionsview Seniors’ Planning Society celebrated 25 years of service to our community. We have come a long way in the last two and a half decades, but we have remained true to our goal of being a strong voice for seniors on the North Shore. In September of 1989 a group of service providers came together to test the idea of coordinated planning for seniors’ services on the North Shore. From this initiative came the North Shore Seniors Health Initiative which produced an action plan to address specific issues in the areas of housing, transportation, preventive health, social services and community and residential care. In April 1989, the Committee hired staff to develop and test a model for planning community services with seniors themselves playing a leading role. In 1991, the Committee formed itself into a non-profit society, Lionsview Seniors’ Planning Society. The Society hired an executive director and since then we have grown and evolved. Our most recent initiatives include our Seniors Today survey of North Shore seniors (2011), an Age-friendly Acting for a Better Tomorrow project (2012) and our shaping the North Shore Communities project in 2013, each based on the eight components of the World Health organization’s Age-friendly framework. Throughout our history we have remained true to our principle of involving seniors and senior service providers in all matters that affect the quality of our lives.

March is Fraud Prevention Month!

Now is the time to raise awareness and help protect ourselves and our communities from fraud and scams.

Fraudsters often target older adults using tactics that create urgency, fear, or pressure. Learning to recognize common scams and knowing what steps to take can help prevent financial loss and protect personal information.

Take a moment to review the tips in this post and consider sharing them with a friend, neighbour, or family member. Awareness is one of the most effective ways to stop fraud.

If you believe you may have experienced fraud, report it to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre and your local police.

Small trips require big plans as we get older and have to navigate a complex and disconnected transportation system.

Over the past year, conversations with seniors, service providers, and community partners have reinforced a shared understanding: there is no single solution to providing transportation or seniors, and no one organization can meet these needs alone.

Supporting the mobility of older adults on the North Shore will require coordinated, collaborative efforts that build on existing strengths and shared resources. This work has created momentum toward a more connected and responsive community-based transportation system.

We encourage you to explore the findings and opportunities for collective action identified through this process.

Have your say. Shape your community.

The Seniors Action Table is a small group of older adults in the City of North Vancouver who meet monthly to talk about real issues affecting seniors and work together on practical solutions.

From accessibility and transportation to inclusion and age-friendly planning, members share lived experience that helps shape local projects and advocacy.

You don’t need special skills. Just an interest in your community, a willingness to listen, and a desire to make a difference alongside others.

We meet every 4th Thursday at the North Vancouver City Library, and we encourage new members to observe a meeting first before deciding to join.

Know a senior who cares about their community? Please share this with them.

Today, on the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we highlight this year’s theme: “Fostering disability-inclusive societies for advancing social progress.”

Disability isn’t the barrier, our society is. When communities are built without accessibility in mind, folks with disabilities face unnecessary obstacles in moving through their neighbourhoods, participating in civic life, and accessing services.

That’s why we want to shout out the important work of our Seniors Action Table. Their lived experiences shine a light on the ways our transportation systems, policies, and public spaces fall short - and where meaningful change is needed. Together, we advocate for accessible design, inclusive decision-making, and environments that respect and value people of all abilities.

An inclusive North Shore is one where society removes barriers, not creates them. And that’s the progress we’re committed to advocating for.
