SVSACS's Mission

Southeast Vancouver Seniors' Arts & Cultural Society (SVSACS) is a group of dedicated individuals working to have a seniors' centre built in southeast Vancouver. The centre would house various arts and cultural activities for seniors, serving as a meeting and gathering place for older adults of all ethnic backgrounds. There is currently no seniors' centre in all of southeast Van!

SVSACS's objectives are:

• To develop, promote and provide programs, activities, services and special events for adults of all cultures in the Southeast section of Vancouver.
• To raise and provide the necessary funding to purchase the essential equipment, supplies and/or furniture needed to provide seniors' programming, activities, special community events and services.
• To negotiate contracts and the rate of pay with the various instructors or staff needed to operate the programs, events or services for the Society.
• To set the fees and charges that are charged to patrons and users for the seniors programs, activities, special community events and services.
