Welcome to the Elder Friendly Community Network (EFCN) in Victoria B.C.
EFCN is a community movement of representatives from the public, private academic, non-profit sectors who are committed to serving elders in Greater Victoria.
You’re Invited!
If you serve elders, or you yourself are an elder, we invite you to join us at our monthly meetings to learn and connect with like-minded people who have a heart for serving seniors.
Your service and perspectives would be a welcome addition to our community, and you will in turn gain vital knowledge and support from us.
About Us
EFCN is the elder service professional and social hub in Greater Victoria. For the past eighteen years, we’ve built an elder friendly community through a network of well-informed people who serve seniors.
We strive for a balance of business, non-profit, academic and political membership as a reflection of our belief that every community sector is required for our group to be fully informed of available senior services and initiatives.
EFCN is not a special interest or advocacy organization. All viewpoints are welcome, and every member is respected.
Our primary goal is to increase community participation with seniors.
We’re proud of the fact that representatives from diverse organizations now connect formally and informally with each other because of coming together within the EFCN. Our common goal is to continue to enhance Greater Victoria’s elder community.
While the EFCN organization does not itself directly represent seniors, it is a forum where members share resources and information in order to support and affect positive changes in the lives of elders.
How Do We Accomplish Our Goal?
We accomplish this through regular meetings where we share, network and learn from informative presentations about challenges facing seniors, available services and resources and social trends.
