Welcome to the ASK Friendship Society!

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

Join The Conversation

ASK is excited to announce that we are expanding our programming into a bright and spacious 9,000 square foot facility in the new Arbutus Centre early 2026.

We are seeking input and feedback from community members as to the types of programs and services that would be of greatest benefit for older adults and their caregivers living within the Arbutus catchment area.

Your voice matters, and we look forward to hearing your valuable input.

Thank you to everyone who attended and engaged in our Community cafes these last few months!


Your feedback, ideas, opinions and considerations were thought-provoking, inspiring and so very much appreciated. We held 11 cafes over the last seven months, hearing from over 200 individuals, all who are committed to the health and mental wellness of older adults and their caregivers.

Highlevel results of the Community Cafes and surveys will be presented at the ASK Town Hall on Wednesday May 28 at the Dogwood Centre.

Seating is limited. Please register today at https://friends.askcentre.ca/
