The Seniors Take Action Coalition (STAC) was established in January 2016 following a seniors conference held in Richmond County in the fall of 2015. What began as a discussion among older adults, volunteers, and community partners quickly evolved into a collaborative organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for seniors throughout Richmond County.
Over the past decade, STAC has become a respected voice for older adults, promoting age-friendly communities, advocating for the needs of seniors, and fostering strong partnerships with local organizations, government agencies, healthcare providers, and volunteers.
In July 2023, STAC achieved registered non-profit status in Nova Scotia, enabling the organization to expand its impact and access additional funding opportunities to strengthen and grow programs and services for seniors across Richmond County.
Today, through advocacy, education, outreach, community events, its quarterly newsletter, Better with Age, monthly and weekly community calendars, conferences, research collaborations, and initiatives such as community-based grief support programs and Mental Health First Aid for Older Adults, STAC continues to help older adults live healthy, safe, connected, and independent lives within their communities.
On September 9, 2026, STAC celebrated its 10th anniversary, marking a decade of dedicated service and meaningful contributions to the well-being of seniors in Richmond County. Through its commitment to supporting older adults and strengthening communities, STAC truly deserves this recognition.
Please join us in recognizing and thanking Seniors Take Action Coalition (STAC) for their hard work and dedication. We thank you for all you do for Richmond County!
