Seniors Community Action Committees (SCAC) in BC: An overview from the Provincial SCAC Working Group
Seniors Community Action Committees (SCACs) are local/regional groups (also known as Senior Planning Tables/Seniors Action Committees) that support the capacity of community to collaborate, plan, and mobilize to improve the lives of seniors. The Seniors Community Action Committees (SCAC) Provincial Working Group supports them by addressing their needs and interests though means such as advocacy, education, and awareness.
On Dec 9, 2020, the SCAC Working Group hosted this webinar and showcased the highlights and needs of Seniors Community Action Committees across BC. They discussed progress on creation of a Provincial Framework for Seniors Community Action Committees aimed at profiling information about these groups, such as their geographical reach, their needs and challenges, and the important work they are doing for seniors.
