SeniorsNL

We are dedicated to promoting the independence and well-being of older adults in Newfoundland and Labrador through the provision of information as well as various programs and services.

SeniorsNL understands inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility are keys to health and well-being and a life well lived. SeniorsNL is dedicated to ensuring older adults and those that support them get the resources they deserve. We value treating everyone with dignity and respect. While we do not ask for self-identification to ensure diversity, be it a person calling us or a volunteer or staff, we listen, support, and hire without prejudice or judgment. Seniors are not a homogeneous group.

We respect the wide diversity of those in later life, as well as those who support them. We believe and validate what they say, ensure participation, and that voices are heard to address unmet needs. We encourage engagement in shaping age-friendly communities that have to take into consideration different needs, abilities, cultures, and values.

We do everything we can to ensure that we are as inclusive as possible in all areas of our work, including operations, whether that is providing services for older people, influencing policy, or as an employer.
