SMILE Program
The SMILE Program (Support Meals Improving Lives of Elders) is an initiative dedicated to enhancing the well-being and inclusion of seniors in the community.
Each Wednesday, the District of Tofino hosts a Seniors Social featuring a warm meal prepared by a local chef, followed by engaging activities like dance classes, art workshops, and presentations. The room is always full of excitement, with opportunities for skill sharing among participants—seniors teaching each other everything from watercolour painting to the benefits of meditation.
For those unable to attend the weekly gatherings, the District of Tofino partners with the Better at Home Program through the Pacific Rim Hospice Society to deliver meals and offer friendly visits to seniors who can not attend in person.
The SMILE Program is made possible through the support of the Government of Canada’s New Horizons for Seniors Grant, the Better at Home Program, and the Clayoquot Biosphere Trust’s Eat West Coast program.
If you're interested in volunteering to prepare meals, package and label soups, or lead an activity, please reach out.
