Vernon Seniors Action Network
Better decisions get made when seniors’ voices are part of the conversation.
About VSAN
Vernon Seniors Action Network (VSAN) brings people together to improve the well-being of older adults in Vernon and the surrounding communities.
Rather than providing a single service, VSAN creates a space where seniors’ voices are heard and community partners collaborate. We’re here to identify the gaps, share the right information, and build a stronger network of support for the older adults in our community.
