Join us for an information session with experts from various programs at Fraser Health Authority exploring services offered to older adults. This is important information for you as you plan for aging in place or for adult children looking to support aging parents.

Each program from Fraser Health will give a 20 minute talk and then participants will have the opportunity to ask further questions and get more information at each program booth.
