The Palmerston Seniors Network (PSN) serves as an advisory body to the Community Wellbeing Advisory Committee and does not hold any decision-making powers. The Network is responsible for recommending courses of action to the Committee on matters within its scope.
PSN provides a forum for the community to express concerns related to seniors and to actively contribute to building a community where all individuals enjoy equal access to public spaces, services, and programs, in alignment with the Community Plan.
Meetings are held quarterly from 1pm in Palmerston Recreation Centre, 11 The Boulevard, Palmerston.
