Sponsored

Sponsored by the Knights of Columbus councils of greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, Columbus Charities Association (CCA) provides affordable housing for seniors 55 up. We also provide opportunities to make new friends, enjoy additional peace of mind and personal security, increased daily activities, as well as wonderful meals at our full service sites.

CCA is a registered charity incorporated on July 29th, 1965 by the councils of the Knights of Columbus of the Lower Fraser Valley. The charity relies on the continuing and generous support of its members and the public. Gifts of any amount are welcome. Tax receipts will be issued for all donations of $10.00 and over. Dedications on behalf of departed family members may be arranged for larger donations.

Mission

Providing afforable housing for seniors 55 and up.

Objective

Our goal is to provide conveniently located, affordable, multi-cultural and home-like setttings at each of our residences allowing all residents to live with respect and dignity in a supportive setting, regardless of age, race, religion or status.

Fund Raising

Our principal fund raising event is our Shamrock Drive held on the weekend closest to St. Patrick’s feast day, March 17th. We promote our senior housing efforts and hand out green stick on shamrocks. This has been a successful event thanks to the efforts of the Knights of Columbus councils.

Legacy Fund

A memorial gift will help CCA to provide additional facilities for improved living of seniors in our community. Donations will be accepted in person or by mail and the honouree’s name placed on our wall of recognition or appropriate equipment or room. Charitable tax receipts will be issued.
