To celebrate National Seniors Day, PICS Society was excited to hold a Senior Fun Fest on the 5th October, 2023 at Dhaliwal Banquet hall.
On this beautiful sun-kissed morning- full of warm interactions, Seniors from a multitude of cultures, communities and backgrounds were able to meet, engage and better embrace closer community living and connections.
It was delightful to host a truly Intercultural celebration of our Seniors through their cultures and traditions. Informational sessions including a basic introduction to the various services offered by our organization were conducted followed by games, music and dancing.
We look forward to hosting many more such celebrations for our elders, in order to truly make our diverse City and community- better connected and more inclusive towards seniors

A Kaleidoscope of Colours and Unity
It was a great pleasure for SISSIP to attend the Surrey Pride event at the Surrey City Hall on June 21st, 2023.
SISSIP Network is lucky to be a part of this momentous occasion and takes pride, along with its parent society PICS, in representing visible minority groups, seniors from diverse social backgrounds and members of the LGBTQ2S+ community.
Not only was this great community outreach but also the congregation helped us meet, greet, induct and welcome more seniors into the SISSIP Network.

It was wonderful to celebrate BC Seniors week last week with our community partners! We are grateful and excited to once again be given the opportunity to attend in-person events where we can connect with seniors in the community. Thank you to the City of Surrey and Westcoast Women's Show and Summerfest for having us and hosting these awesome events!
