This is a continuation of our previous post on “Safe Metro Vancouver Neighbourhoods for Seniors”. BC has a lot of remarkable neighbourhoods for seniors. A lot of our cities also have Age Friendly Designation. So if you are looking for a quiet small town location but don’t want to compromise on amenities and livability as a senior, we’ve got you covered.
World Atlas recently released an article on the “8 Safest Towns in British Columbia for Senior Living”. They featured locations across Vancouver Island, the Okanagan, Comox and Delta. These neighbourhoods are relaxed, picturesque and safe. They also highlighted the percentage of the population that are over 65 in these locations, as well as the medical facilities available. Here are their top picks:
Oak Bay (Vancouver Island)
Qualicum Beach (Vancouver Island)
Parksville (Vancouver Island)
Sidney (Vancouver Island)
Summerland (Okanagan)
Peachland (Okanagan)
Comox
Ladner (Delta)
While we cheer on the towns listed above, here are some others we think are also safe and ideal for seniors in the province:
