About Us:

 

The purpose of the South Interlake Seniors Resource Council (SISRC)  is to assist senior and disabled persons who reside in Stonewall and parts of the rural municipalities of Rosser, Rockwood and Woodlands to continue living independently and with dignity in their own homes for as long as possible by putting together a cadre of well trained, willing and cheerful volunteers to assist those requiring either transportation, home visits, housecleaning, short term mobility equipment loans, access to lifeline program or resource information

The South Interlake Seniors Resource Council is governed by a volunteer board made up of members of the communities that it serves. Board members are appointed/elected at the annual meeting of the Council. The Board meets monthly with the exception of July and August.

The business office of the SISRC is located at 144-622 Centre Avenue, In The Lions Manor, Entrance 5. The Council employs two resource coordinators for the Seniors Resource programs.
