Old Age Pensioners,

This sub-group of the British Columbia Seniors’ Association used a province-wide collective creation of a quilt to provide an opportunity for the elderly to speak out about social issue and funding cuts in the province of British Columbia. This type of project is effective because the majority of the people involved in making the squares were comfortable and familiar with medium, were artists or were citizens looking to make a contribution form the comfort of their own homes (mobility problems in the aged). To create the squares, people had to familiarize themselves with the problems and concerns in their communities.
