History / Biographical
Seniors Helping Seniors was an initiative of the Cortes Island Seniors Society, started and administered in 2003 by a dedicated subcommittee with a hired coordinator. Volunteers of the project, seniors themselves, provided company, transportation, and practical assistance to Cortes Island seniors. The coordinator managed volunteers and arranged social events, which included weekly lunches, trips off-island to Quadra craft studios and to the pool in Campbell River, rides to appointments, memoir writing, and eventually the Literary Afternoons. With rising costs and the focus of the Seniors' Society board turning more to the ongoing operation of the Seniors' Village cottages, the SHS program was replaced by a new grant-funded initiative in March 2023. Volunteers have largely been replaced by paid employees who are overseen by a new board renamed "Support Our Seniors."
