It is with great sadness we mourn the passing of Bea Holland, who was Executive Director of Silver Threads Service during the 90's. Our organization exists today due to her leadership, compassion and dedication to seniors.
Bea leaves a lasting legacy to our community and we were blessed to have had her support over the decades.
Our deepest condolences to her family for your loss.
You will be greatly missed Bea. Rest in Peace.
The Senior Community Outreach Project operates in partnership with James Bay New Horizons and Silver Threads Service. During the COVID – 19 Pandemic we will try and support our seniors who are following the advice of our Government and Health Officials and are staying at home.
The Outreach line (250) 889-4430 will be monitored Tuesday to Thursday from 8:30 to 4:00pm. Seniors can leave a message with their name, phone number and request of how we can help. We will do our best to lend a help and will get back to you within a day.
If you are concerned you may have contacted COVID-19 please do not go to emergency, you are advised to call BC811.
For any non-COVID-19 medical emergencies please call 911.
