BCCPA meets Minister of Seniors Kamal Khera at Elim Village

As part of her series of announcements and community engagements throughout British Columbia, Canada’s Minister of Seniors Hon. Kamal Khera met with BC Care Providers Association (BCCPA) and EngAge BC board and staff members for a tour at one of our member sites, Elim Village Fleetwood in Surrey.

Elim Village CEO Ron Pike guided Minister Khera through an exclusive tour of their campus of care. A group of residents had the chance to meet and chat with the Minister, sharing their perspectives on seniors’ care.

In the meeting, Minister Khera described how highly regarded and dedicated the work of the long-term care sector is. She also reinforced the federal government’s commitment to ensuring the highest standards of care in all provinces, with subject to adoption by each individual province.

Given their aligning time in office, Minister Khera recalled when she had previously met BCCPA CEO Terry Lake. At the time, she was Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health, while Lake was the B.C. Minister of Health.

BCCPA is looking forward to continuing engagement with the federal government in health, immigration, and employment in upcoming meetings coordinated by the Canadian Association of Long-Term Care.
