Collective action by and for seniors to build a more responsive and resilient community for seniors on the Westside of Vancouver, BC. 西區老年人中心 老年人和集體的集體行動 Building a more responsive and resilient community for seniors on Vancouver’s Westside through the power of collective action. OUR KEY GOALS To identify and promote awareness of Westside seniors’ issues and priorities. To improve programs and services for seniors on the Westside through collective action by Hub Council, Hub Partner Organizations, and community organizations. To encourage seniors to become more engaged in their community. Read Our Help Brochure WHAT IS THE HUB STRUCTURE? The Hub is comprised of Partner Organizations and a Hub Council. Hub Partner Organizations serve seniors on the Westside and have an interest in collaborating with others to support seniors in their community. They meet quarterly to share information about resources and assets, identify emerging issues, and collaborate on building a range of integrated services for seniors. They work with the Hub Council and serve on working groups to act on identified issues and represent the Hub to the public and various constituencies. Partners include public entities, non-profits, and faith-based organizations that provide services for seniors. Hub Council is composed of several Westside volunteer seniors who have knowledge of seniors’ issues, experience working on action-oriented teams, and skills to work collaboratively with Partner Organizations, each other, and community members. They meet monthly to identify priorities and direct movement towards collective action. WHAT CONSTITUTES THE WESTSIDE? 什麼構成了西區？ 我們將西區老年人中心的集水區定義為： 安大略街以西，一直到包括UBC和捐贈土地 康沃爾街和福溪的南部 海洋大道以北 請注意，集水區不包括市區半島或格蘭維爾島。 如果辦事處積極服務於Westside的 高級職員， 歡迎其辦公室位於我們服務區域以外的合作夥伴加入我們 。 WHAT CONSTITUTES THE WESTSIDE? The concept of a seniors hub first emerged through a 2009 research report entitled Sustaining Seniors Programs through the Neighbourhood House Model , which focused on opportunities for seniors at Kitsilano, Kiwassa & South Vancouver Neighbourhood Houses. In 2010, South Vancouver Neighbourhood House received pilot funding from Vancouver Coastal Health's SmartFund, City of Vancouver, United Way, and Vancouver Foundation to develop the South Vancouver Seniors Hub and produce an Implementation Plan and Seniors Hub Toolkit. This led to Kitsilano Neighbourhood House receiving a 2013-2014 Vancouver Foundation grant for a Seniors for Seniors Project: Building a One-Stop Place for Westside Seniors . One of the aspects of this project was to develop a Westside Seniors Hub. A number of community members and seventeen senior-serving Westside organizations met at a visioning roundtable in January 2014 to explore the potential benefits and nature of a Westside Hub. Several subsequent planning roundtables developed the structure of the Hub as well as Partner Collaborative Agreements, wrote a Hub Council Member job description, recruited and interviewed Hub Council applicants. By February 2015, appointments to the Hub Council had been made and the first joint meeting of Partner Organizations and Hub Council members took place. SPONSORS 集線器如何出現？ 老年人中心的概念首先出現在2009年的一份研究報告中，該報告題為“通過鄰里房屋模式維持老年人計劃”，該報告重點介紹了基斯蘭奴，奇瓦薩和南溫哥華鄰里房屋的老年人機會。 2010年，南溫哥華鄰舍獲得了溫哥華沿海衛生局– SmartFund，溫哥華市，聯合之路和溫哥華基金會的試點資金，以開發南溫哥華老年人中心，並製定實施計劃和老年人中心工具包。 這導致基斯蘭奴社區住宅獲得了2013-2014年溫哥華基金會的一項針對老年人的項目的贈款：為西區老年人建立一站式場所。該項目的一方面是開發Westside老年人中心。 2014年1月，許多社區成員和17個高級服務西區組織在一次遠景圓桌會議上開會，探討了西區樞紐的潛在利益和性質。隨後的幾個計劃圓桌會議確定了樞紐的結構。此外，他們起草了《合作夥伴合作協議》，撰寫了樞紐理事會成員的職位描述，並招募和採訪了樞紐理事會的申請人。 到2015年2月，已經任命了樞紐理事會，並且合作夥伴組織和樞紐理事會成員舉行了首次聯席會議。自那時以來，該中心一直在為各種項目 尋求撥款，並由有償承包商運營，基斯蘭奴社區住宅組織的行政支持以及志願者的努力。 贊助商 自成立以來，該中心已獲得多家贊助商的財務支持。我們感謝他們代表老年人對樞紐的使命和目標的信任和認可。 返回頂部
