2011 United Way Seniors Vulnerability Report: Community Profiles and Discussion Papers

The 2011 United Way Seniors Vulnerability Report focuses on vulnerable seniors in Metro Vancouver and the Sea to Sky corridor. It recognizes multiple dimensions of vulnerability in order to grasp the situation of at-risk seniors and identify ways to improve their quality of life.

The report is accompanied by a series of discussion papers, each of which elaborates on one dimension of vulnerability. Nine community information bulletins serve as additional companions to this report, providing analysis of key socio-demographic and economic indicators for municipalities in the region. The bulletins are intended for use at the municipal level and by seniors’ community planning tables.
