About
West End Seniors’ Network
(WESN)
A West End community that inspires and supports older adults to live involved, vibrant and fulfilling lives. WESN improves
the quality of life of adults aged 55+ by providing social, educational and recreational programs and services that
foster connection and inclusion in the broader community.
The West End Seniors' Network now operates from 3 different locations. In Denman Place Mall we run a thrift
store, Clothes and Collectibles, and an Information
and Referral centre, Kay’s Place. WESN's main offices are located in Barclay Manor, a space dedicated by the City of Vancouver for seniors, where we work co-operatively with the West End Community Center to provide a variety of programs and activities. Visit: wesn.ca
