Free lectures address
seniors’ housing issues

WITH THE ongoing housing
crunch and rising rental costs,
housing choices are a major con-
cern, especially to seniors. As part
of an ongoing series, North Shore
Community Services is offering
two free afternoon lectures on
housing options for seniors.

The first lecture will be held at
West Vancouver Seniors’ Activity
Centre on Friday, May 3. The se-
cond lecture will take place at

Forum on
abuse of
elderly

WHY DOES abuse of the elderly
happen? What can we, as individ-
uals or as a community, do to
tespond appropriately to help the
vulnerable elderly?

These are the type of questions
which will be addressed at a
public forum on Abuse of the EI-
derly; A Community Response at
the Lucas Continuing Education
Centre, 2132 Hamilton Ave.,
starting at 7:30 p.m. on May 6.

“With an increasing number of
the population aging, this is a
highly relevant topic that needs to
be addressed,’’ according to Pearl
McKenzie, Director of the
Seniors’ Independence Program at
North Shore Community Services.

Mckenzie, together with a panel
consisting of counseliurs and
speakers from seniors’ centres, the
RCMP, Long Term Care/
Continuing Care, North Shore
Crisis Services, and North Shore
Community Mental Health will
respond to this issue with infor-
mation specific to the North
Shore.

Anyone interested in attending
the forum should pre-register for
course MS92 at the Lucas Centre
by calling 986-8888.
