Seniors' Activity Centre Advisory Board

The Seniors' Activity Centre (SAC) Advisory Board and staff partner together for effective program and service delivery at the SAC. With 11 voting members and three non-voting members, the SAC Advisory Board works closely with SAC staff in achieving program, facility, and equipment enhancements, welcoming social ambience, providing excellent food service delivery, and advocating for supportive seniors services in West Vancouver. The SAC Advisory Board Finance Committee, and the Board as a whole, advise on budget direction and may make recommendations to staff on programs and services for budget inclusion. The SAC Advisory Board assists and supports fundraising plans and projects that support the SAC or services for seniors (such as the Shuttle Bus).
