Trained volunteer advocates work to identify the avenues clients can pursue to solve their problems. These may include housing matters, legal entanglements, pension matters, loss of drivers licence, BBB matters, abuse of any kind, police entanglements, government issues, and health & social services.
You are eligible for our services if you're 55+ and a resident of Saanich, Victoria, Oak Bay, Esquimalt, or View Royal.
Advocates may accompany clients to adjudication or arbitration hearings. Not all cases may meet immediate resolution. We possess a small library of brochures, booklets and videos for information on the above topics. New volunteers are welcome and training will be provided.
The office is open for consultations at the following times:
The Senior's Entitlement Service office is located in the Blanshard Community Centre at 901 Kings Road, Victoria, BC V8T 1W5. Our email is sescoord@blanshardcc.com and our telephone number is 250–388–7696.
A grant from the federal New Horizons for Seniors Program facilitated the operation of this service. The Greater Victoria Seniors were the initial sponsors of the organization. However, currently SES operates under a memorandum of agreement with the Blanshard Community Centre.
