Our Vision
We are here to assist and support community members to age in place and to remain integrated within our community.
Who We Are
Mayne Island Assisted Living Society (MIALS) is a non-profit society, developed in 2004, by Mayne Islanders who envisioned a way of life where neighbours help neighbours to sustain a thriving age-friendly community. MIALS offers a variety of programs and services that connect people together in a meaningful way, resulting in an enhanced quality of life for everyone involved – participants, volunteers, staff and board members!
