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 late 2025/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.

Open House

 

A huge THANK YOU to all of you who attended our Open House at the Dogwood Centre on Tuesday October 29

 

The ASK Friendship Society moved into our wonderful new and spacious home on the ground floor of the Vancouver Coastal Health’s Dogwood Care Home in the Fall of 2023. With a bright open space to host our Adult Day Program, (including an outdoor patio) and access to a commercial kitchen to serve hot nutritious meals, our clients are warmly welcomed and engaged daily in fun and social activities.

Over 100 guests enjoyed connecting with clients, family members, community health professionals and community leaders. Invited guests were the first to hear about ASK’s future expansion of programming and services in the new Arbutus Centre located at Nanton and Arbutus Street, scheduled to open in the Fall of 2025

The expansion provides us with an opportunity to launch a community engagement process and hear from you. Share your thoughts re the types of programs and services you would like to see at the Arbutus Centre for both older adults and their caregivers. There are surveys as well as a series of Community Cafés, each focused on engaging a specific group.

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