EFCN REPRESENTATIVES

We’re proud of the fact that representatives from diverse organizations now connect formally and informally with each other as a result of coming together within the EFCN with a common goal to ensure that Greater Victoria becomes a recognized Elder-friendly Community.

About EFCN

The main activity of EFCN is networking. As a nonpolitical, nonpartisan group, the EFCN does not deal directly with issues.However, EFCN does offer participants the opportunity to state an issue with the aim of attracting others interested in the same issue.

How do we carry out our mandate?

Providing presentations which are relevant, timely and topical. EFCN meetings are not a venue to sell but rather to provide information, develop partnerships and increase the competency of EFCN participants to ultimately benefit their constituents.
