The mission of the West End Seniors' Network (WESN) is to improve the quality of life of adults 55 years of age and older by providing social, recreational, educational and supportive programs and services that foster connection and inclusion in the broader community.
Our vision is a Vancouver West End community that inspires and supports older adults to live involved, vibrant and fulfilling lives.
