Timberline at North Park is proudly owned and operated by VRS Communities Society – a non-profit housing provider committed to housing affordability and seniors living services.
At Timberline, combined rents and full seniors services, which include (meals, housekeeping and recreation) start from only $2800 per month for a studio suite, starting at $3200 for a 1 bedroom suite and starting at $3650 for a 2 bedroom suite . The Shelter Aid for Elderly Renters (SAFER) program also helps make rents affordable for BC seniors with low to moderate incomes. SAFER provides monthly cash payments to subsidize rents for eligible BC residents who are age 60 or over.
VRS continues to work with BC Housing in support of all available housing grant subsidies benefiting our seniors population. As grants and special subsidies become available from BC Housing, VRS directs those funds to delivering additional levels of affordability to those most in need.

Welcome to a New Way Forward with Us
VRS Communities Society – Because Seniors deserve our very best. Live and thrive in your own home, your own community, with programs and services by VRS.
At VRS Communities, we believe in providing seniors with an authentic and empathetic living experience. With almost 50 years of experience raising standards for affordable living in British Columbia, we’re focused on carrying this promise through to our Seniors’ residences.
We’re new, and we’re listening – to what our seniors want, to what they need, and most importantly, to how they like to live. With the recent expansion of 11 independent and assisted living communities, as well as ongoing new multi-generational developments, we continue to work for you, not shareholders.
Service is at the heart of what we do and we’re here to work for you. We stand by our five-star service guarantee and believe in creating an experience that is best-in-class for our residents and their families.
Programs and services you can expect at Timberline at North Park
With exceptionally caring and helpful VRS staff, residents enjoy housekeeping services, a bistro, restaurant quality casual dining, a library, music concerts, pub and games nights, special evening dancing, visiting and enjoying each other’s company, bridge and cribbage, movie nights, and bus trip outings.
Best of all there are indoor and outdoor exercises three times a week: chair yoga, Tai Chi, and Balance Classes, as well as a fitness room downstairs for residents to use.
