Hey guys,

This is a topic close to my heart. I'm not particularly sure if it belongs in this part of the forum, but hopefully someone is able to share some info.

My grandmother is approaching her 90's. This limits her mobility a lot as her health declines slowly over the years, so she is always shut in at home while the entire family goes to work during the day. She's had a few falls, luckily nothing serious, and doesn't attempt to take walks in the neighborhood anymore.

Is anyone familiar with any gatherings of elderly chinese, preferably Mandarin/Shanghai-dialect speaking, in the Burnaby, Coquitlam or E. Van area? I'd like to drive her out sometimes so she can socialize with others her age so she isn't so lonely. I think it'll improve her happiness and overall quality of life greatly.

I've tried doing some research and nothing points specifically at what I'm looking for (more socializing, less physical activity).

Thank you sincerely for any info/advice you can share with me.
