What is the BC grant for seniors? An overview of provincial financial aid

According to a 2019 Canadian census, nearly 25% of seniors aged 65 and older live alone, often with limited social and financial resources. A **BC grant for seniors**, often referred to as the BC Seniors' Supplement, is one of several provincial initiatives that provide a monthly financial top-up to low-income residents receiving federal pension benefits. Other financial supports include property tax reductions and rental assistance for eligible individuals.
