BCCEAS is actively committed to being accessible. There are many barriers to older adults receiving legal services, public legal education and information and other outreach activities.
BCCEAS’ vision specifically includes the goal of overcoming the following barriers:
- Physical
- Linguistic
- Cultural
- Gender
- Sensory
- Financial
- Cognitive
- Mobility-based
- Knowledge-based
- Literacy
- Communication
To that end, BC CEAS has offices in a centrally located building, which is one of the largest seniors’ centres in the province. The office has a variety of accessibility devices such as “Listening Ears”.
BC CEAS is a strongly committed to diversity within its organization, and specifically seeks to support older members of visible minority groups, women, Aboriginal or indigenous persons, persons with disabilities, members of sexual minority groups, and others who experience discrimination.
