The Wei Wai Kum First Nation honours and respects its Elders and supports them with a variety of programs and services – including those that facilitate fellowship with the Nation’s youth and with Elders of other Nations.
Services and programs for Elders’ include:
- Transportation to medical appointments and shopping

The Nation defines Elders as members who are age 65 or older. When space permits, programs are open to members who are age 60 and over.
