Lola Dawn Fennell, Manager of the Prince George Council of Seniors, and President Ernie Myers of the Council of Seniors, provided a detailed presentation of the multitude of "Services" provided by the Council, through the newly established "Senior Resource Centre".

The Prince George Council of Seniors represents 24 different Seniors organizations and Service organizations in Prince George.  Collectively, these 24 organizations represent approximately 4,000 seniors in Prince George.

The Nechako Rotary Club is one of those Service Organizations, with Rotarian Lloyd Clay as our representative on the Council's Board of Directors.

The Council of Seniors have 8 separate Committees of dedicated people, all volunteers, that work together to provide the huge list of services to seniors in Prince George. Programs include "Meals on Wheels; a Dental Program; a Radio Program; a Better at Home Program; a Seniors Housing Program; Seniors Access Program; to mention a few."

The Council also provides assistance to seniors through things such as basic computer training, assistance with completion of Income Tax Returns, various forms of representation with Civic, Municipal and Provincial Government issues.

As Lloyd Clay stated, " he is constantly amazed and impressed by the quantity and quality of representation provided by the Prince George Council of Seniors in Prince George."
