BC Seniors Advocate addresses concerns over health care, housing in TerraceBC town hall
Area seniors had the opportunity to speak their mind at a town hall on May 4, addressing their concerns about health care access and housing directly at BC Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie.
Skeena Valley Seniors has been advocating for preserving the Seven Sisters building and converting it into a daycare centre for health care workers at the nearby hospital. The group’s president, Diana Penner, stressed that “nobody is listening to us” when it comes to the issue of the Seven Sisters building, adding the measure could help retain staff and ensure better access to health care for seniors, but they’ve been stonewalled by Northern Health.
Mackenzie didn’t touch much on the Seven Sisters building, but did say that residents should get in touch with her office. Northern Health’s bureaucracy was also heavily criticized by residents who claimed the organization does not prioritize seniors’ needs. Mackenzie encouraged residents to reach out to their MLAs and unite as a rural voice to exert pressure on Northern Health.
