By Laura Ryser and Greg Halseth

This presentation explores ways to improve communication strategies connecting with, and providing information to, seniors in a resource town in transition. We begin by exploring the unique context of aging in resource communities, as well as how social, economic, and demographic restructuring processes have impacted these places.  After reviewing demographic and service restructuring pressures in Terrace, BC, we explore factors impacting the awareness amongst seniors’ of local services and supports. The presentation ends with some recommendations to enhance communication strategies that can link seniors with needed supports.
