About Capilano Community Services Society

Capilano Community Services Society (CCSS) is a registered, not-for-profit charitable society with a mission to foster safe, inclusive, and healthy communities where individuals and families can thrive.

CCSS provides engaging, low-cost and no cost family, youth, and seniors programs and support services for North Shore residents. Our programming enhances social connectedness, wellbeing, resiliency, and promotes a sense of community belonging.

CCSS is based out of the Lions Gate Community Recreation Centre where we partner with North Vancouver Recreation and Culture, and North Vancouver District Public Library, to meet the needs of the community.

Overview of the Seniors Program

The Seniors' program, known as the _Seniors' Hub_, offers free and by-donation programs for seniors aged 55+, to maintain their social networks, make new friends and remain connected to their community.

Programs are designed to be flexible and adapt to changing requirements of age and health.

Our goal is to alleviate the social isolation, stress, and anxiety experienced by seniors as well improve their overall health and wellbeing.

In addition to our onsite programs, we also offer outreach programs using our minibus to support seniors with their weekly shopping and visiting local attractions.
