Welcome to the ASK Friendship Society!

Providing fun, friendship and community to older adults since 1976.

Thank You for Joining the Conversation

ASK’s upcoming expansion into a bright and spacious 9,000 square foot facility at the new Arbutus Centre will be opening in early 2026.

We asked community members to share their input on the types of programs and services that would best support older adults and their caregivers in the Arbutus catchment area — and the response was incredible.

Thank you for lending your voice and helping shape the future of this important space.

Thank you, Vancouver! 

Over the past 7 months, we’ve hosted our Community Cafés and connected with so many thoughtful people who care deeply about the health, connection, and wellbeing of older adults and their caregivers.

Thank you to everyone who participated — your stories, insights, and honest feedback were truly inspiring and deeply appreciated.The survey is now closed, and we’re so grateful for the time and care you shared with us.
