Avens was established to meet the needs of the growing number of soon-to-be retired miners and prospectors (many of whom were bachelors) who would need support to live out their retirement years in Yellowknife. Since its inception, AVENS has worked very hard to establish programs and services not only for Yellowknife seniors but for seniors across the NWT.
We envisions a future where seniors age well and have choices, where they are connected to a safe and caring community for life and deliver quality services to seniors so they can make choices about how and where they live.
