About this organization
The purpose of the Victoria Lesbian Seniors Care Society is to support the health and social needs of lesbians as we age by ensuring safe, accessible, welcoming spaces for social interaction to build a sense of community through public education and social action.
Initially, there was a strong focus on acquiring housing dedicated to the support of lesbians and their partners as they aged, housing that ensured thoughtful, respectful care and acknowledged the lesbian lifestyle. Over the years there was a transition away from a focus on housing initiatives due to lack of funding and feasibility. Subsequently, the purpose of the society was redrafted to reflect that change.
Today, we continue to be an amazing group of dedicated women who self-identify as lesbians, proud of our past accomplishments and looking forward to ever more success as we continue to grow and evolve in the 21st century.
