The West End Seniors’ Network (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 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.
