We have an exciting last edition of The Advocate for 2023, with contributions from Premier David Eby, MP Don Davies, and Isobel Mackenzie, who reflects on both the past and future of seniors in B.C. after a decade as Seniors Advocate. BC FORUM member Barb Mikulec provides some insights into the state of housing for seniors and we at The Advocate highlight the benefits of public libraries for seniors and the great services they offer. We hope you have a wonderful holiday time and a happy new year!
