Help with BC Vaccine Card

Hello Burnaby Seniors,

On September 13th or shortly thereafter, we will need to have a BC Vaccine Card in order to access some events, services and businesses. You will NOT need one to go to grocery stores, pharmacies, fast food places, coffee shops and take out. For a full list of places you can go or can't go, google BC Vaccine Card.

If you need help getting the card and have a smart phone, Burnaby Neighbourhood House will help you get one on your smartphone.. Just attend one of their Computer Drop-in classes. Contact BNH at 604-431-0400.

Burnaby Neighbourhood House has also kindly volunteered to print one for those who don't have a smart phone or computer and printer.

You can also order a paper copy by phone and it will be mailed to you. Call 1-833-838-2323. Translators are available.

I hope this helps,

Lynda

Canadian Red Cross Friendly Calls Program

The Canadian Red Cross Friendly Calls program aims to help address heightened feelings of loneliness and isolation that so many are experiencing during or as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The program has existed in some provinces for years. Elsewhere, it was launched as a result of the pandemic, in recognition of the challenges faced by our aging population, and the positive impact the existing Friendly Calls program has on both volunteers and clients.

Do you know someone who could benefit from having someone to talk with on a regular basis?  Fill out an online form or contact 1-833-474-0360 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
