Save the date for MLA Bernier’s Senior’s Expo

October event will offer one-stop shop for seniors to learn about local services they can use

Dawson Creek – Seniors from across the region will have an opportunity to explore the wide variety of services available to them in the community at Peace River South MLA Mike Bernier’s first ever Senior’s Expo.

“This first-ever Senior’s Expo aims to connect people with the wide variety of services available to them as seniors – or soon to be seniors,” Bernier said. “We’re going to try to answer the kinds of questions we get in my constituency office and make those answers available to everyone who is interested.”

The event takes place Oct. 15 at Co-op Mercer Hall in the Ovintiv Events Centre. Doors will open at 11:30 am and a light lunch will be served at noon when the keynote speakers begin.  From 1:15 pm until 2:30 pm attendees can walk around and visit participating vendors and community groups at their booths to get more information on what’s available to them.

Registration for the event is required so we have enough food for everyone. To register please call 250-782-3430 or email mike.bernier.mla@leg.bc.ca.

“Now is the time to save the date and let us know if you’re coming to the Expo,” Bernier added. “I encourage all seniors – and the kids of seniors – to get registered and come and learn about the services and supports available to them.”
