Workshops for Seniors

The Seniors’ Health & Wellness Institute (COSCO) provides free workshops to seniors’ groups. We currently have 47 workshops available for presentation by trained facilitators. Our workshops are developed by consulting with experts in their fields to ensure all information is up-to-date and accurate. These sessions provide practical information but are not intended to provide specific legal, medical or financial advice.

Where possible, we offer workshops for non-English speaking seniors. Our brochure and many of our workshop handouts are available in Chinese (simplified script), Japanese, Spanish and Punjabi. We thank the Community Office staff of MLA Michael Lee for providing translations for Mandarin speakers for many of our workshop handouts.

All workshop information is presented by a facilitator using a PowerPoint presentation. Each participant is provided with a handout of key points and they are encouraged to use this new information to help modify their behaviours to increase their chances of optimal health and well-being.

  • Stay On The Road – January 15, 2025

    Are you nearing 80 and wondering about driver assessments? Then you will definitely want to attend our virtual workshop! This practical guide for senior drivers will help you learn more about driver assessment. It will be of particular interest to drivers who are nearing the age of 80. However, drivers of any age are welcome to attend and everyone will find the workshop helpful. You will learn about RoadSafetyBC’s Medical Assessment and ICBC’s Enhanced Road Assessment. These assessments determine whether people can continue driving. This workshop is a joint presentation of the Seniors’ Health & Wellness Institute (COSCO) and the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia.
