Contact the Senior's Program Coordinator: Cherrie Guo

Kiwassa Neighbourhood House offers programs for adults 55+ that encourage participation through peer support and provide a variety of activities that enhance well-being and connection to community. Before COVID, people would come to Kiwassa to dance, play cards, do crafts, go on outings, volunteer, eat healthy lunches or chat with other seniors.

We are currently offering in person programs, and we welcome everyone! Please contact Cherrie or Giovana to register at 604-254-5401 or email seniorsprograms@kiwassa.ca if you are interested in attending any of our programs or activities, including enrolling in TAPS.  You can register below to become a member. It’s $5 to join our membership with a free lunch! A staff will contact you once you have registered.  If you are eligible for TAPS (Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors), then you do not need to pay any fees for any activities that you are interested.  Please check the link below for more detailed information about TAPs.
