BC International Senior's Society
The BC International Society was established in1998 by Dr. Mehrangiz Khorshidi to serve seniors, especially those who have language barriers and need assistance to integrate with the larger community.
Over the years, we have received financial support from members of our society.
We have been collaborating with other organizations to provide better services.
Sine 1998, BC International Senior's Society has been working with the BC Coalition to eliminate the abuse of seniors. This project is called A Safer Future for BC Woman and has been financially supported by the Ministry for Women and Gender Equality in Canada.
The BC International Senior's Society was incorporated with the same philosophy
of the BC CEAS as a non-profit Society later in 2000. Our society has been working actively as a member of the BC Coalition to help stop the abuse of seniors.
In April 2022, BCISS received a grant from New Horizons for the Seniors program/ Government of Canada, enabling the BC International Seniors Society to provide seniors with various services and activities.
