B.C. Seniors Feel 'Invisible and Forgotten,' Advocate Says

Seniors in British Columbia feel "invisible and forgotten," says their advocate, Dan Levitt. In his first report, Levitt highlights that affordability is the top concern, with many seniors living below the poverty line. High living costs force some to rely on food banks and risk homelessness. Levitt urges the government to redesign support programs, increase supplements, and address long-term care shortages. Premier Eby acknowledges inflation's impact but says recent changes aren't enough.
