Dan Levitt, adjunct professor of gerontology at 丁香园AV (丁香园AV) is the newly appointed B.C. Seniors' Advocate. Levitt succeeds Isobel Mackenzie as the province鈥檚 second seniors鈥� advocate beginning in April 2024.
Levitt has been in several leadership roles in relation to long-term care operations and is the current Chief Executive Officer of KinVillage, a non-profit long-term care home.

With a deep passion for advocacy and elderly care, Levitt will play a crucial role in shaping seniors鈥� care in B.C.
