Seniors Advocate BC
The Office of the Seniors Advocate monitors and analyzes seniors’ services and issues in B.C., and makes recommendations to government and service providers to address systemic issues. The Office also provides information and referrals for individuals who are navigating seniors’ services and tracks their concerns, which helps inform future work.
The services which the Office monitors are in five key areas:
- health care
- housing
- income supports
- personal supports
- transportation
The Office collaborates with service providers, government and health authorities to improve effectiveness, efficiency and outcomes. A council of advisers, made up of B.C. seniors, provides the Seniors Advocate with advice and feedback from the perspective of seniors with diverse backgrounds, ages, geographical areas and cultures.
Each year, the Seniors Advocate must report to the Minister of Health on the Office’s activities, and reports whenever possible on issues and matters arising from the Office’s work.

The BC Seniors Guide - 11th Edition is attached under Brochures
