Eva Marsden Centre Claimed

Until 2021 the Eva Marsden Centre for Social Justice and Aging (EMC) was known as the N.D.G. Senior Citizens’ Council (NDGSCC). In 2021 the organization was re-branded as the Eva Marsden Centre for Social Justice and Aging, in recognition of its’ wider territory and more comprehensive outreach.

EMC provides advocacy for individuals who are 50 years of age and over. We intervene on behalf of individuals who are experiencing roadblocks related to housing, finances, accessing health services or interpersonal difficulties. Our programs are designed to address the social isolation felt by the low-income 50 plus. We create community by providing opportunities for people to interact with their peers.

We ensure that people aged 50 to 100 have adequate transportation for their health care needs as well as access to government income programs. Services are offered to residents of NDG, Montreal West and the two most disadvantaged sectors of Cote St. Luc (Bailey and Westminster). Several have income, health and/or age-related criteria.
