ASK Friendship Society is a Vancouver-based non-profit organization with over 45 years of experience supporting seniors through inclusive, community-driven programs. One of the first Adult Day Programs (ADPs) in the city, ASK was founded by volunteers responding to a growing social need and has continued to evolve to meet the changing realities of aging.
ASK provides adult day programming, social connection, meals, and supportive services that promote independence, dignity, and well-being for seniors—particularly those experiencing isolation, cognitive change, or complex health needs. Programs are designed to be culturally responsive, accessible, and rooted in strong relationships with participants, caregivers, volunteers, and community partners.
With a long-standing commitment to collaboration and innovation, ASK plays an important role in Vancouver’s continuum of care, supporting seniors to remain active, engaged, and connected to their communities.
Since 2006, BEST’s (Better Environmentally Sound Transportation) Bike Valet has been providing professional, secure, coat-check style bicycle parking in and around Metro Vancouver. The Bicycle Valet is one of Better Environmentally Sound Transportation (BEST) initiatives.
It’s simple! Ride your bike to the Valet at one of our events, and we’ll take care of the rest. Just like a coat-check, we’ll tag your bike and provide you with a claim stub. Enjoy the event, and bring back the claim stub when you want your bike returned. You can even leave your helmet or panniers on your bike (securely attached of course).
We also offer lots of sustainable transportation resources in Metro Vancouver, including City of Vancouver pocket maps, Regional Cycling Maps, Translink transit maps, and other municipalities’ cycling maps. Our friendly Valet team members are also always happy to chat, provided we’re not too busy parking bicycles!
