Purple has become the colour associated with WEAAD, representing respect and a commitment to ending elder abuse. The purple iris is also widely recognized as a symbol of hope, wisdom, courage, and admiration for older adults.

As World Elder Abuse Awareness Day approaches on June 15th, we invite you to help spread awareness by incorporating purple into your social media posts, profile pictures, workplace displays, and community activities.

You can also join our Purple Up for Older Adults Challenge by wearing purple, sharing a photo, tagging BC CRN, and nominating another organization or community group to take part.

Together, we can help make elder abuse prevention visible across BC and beyond.

💚 Keeping yards beautiful, together.
Better at Home is proud to offer light yard‑work support for seniors through our dedicated volunteers. From raking and mowing to simple outdoor clean‑up, we’re here to lend a hand.

To keep things running smoothly, we ask that seniors provide the equipment needed.
And for safety reasons, our volunteers cannot handle waste removal, pet waste, chemical‑related tasks, or hauling items away.

A little help can make a big difference — and we’re grateful for the volunteers who make it possible.

🌟🌿 WE NEED YOUR HELP — AND WE’RE OFF TO A GREAT START! 🌿🌟
Thanks to our amazing community, we’ve already received over $500 toward our Better at Home fundraising goal!

A heartfelt thank you to our generous early donors:
💛 Chef's Trio Kitchen LTD.
💛 Swing Cafe
💛 Kalipi South Peace Filipino Canadian Association (Gregg Apolonio)
Your support is already making a meaningful difference for local seniors.

We’re working to raise $3,000–$5,000 to provide yard work for 12 seniors in our community — helping them stay safe, independent, and proud of their homes. 💚🏡

For many seniors, a well‑kept yard isn’t just about appearance. It prevents falls, supports mobility, and brings comfort and dignity. Your generosity helps make that possible.

✨ Your support = safer homes + happier seniors
✨ Every dollar goes directly to helping elders in our area
