The Seniors' Services Directory contains over 500 listings of community resources and was first published in 1995. Members of Seniors Serving Seniors served on the first Regional Seniors' Services Directory Committee, comprised of representatives from the Capital Regional District, the Greater Victoria Hospital Society and other related seniors' agencies. Following distribution of the 1995 publication, Seniors Serving Seniors took on sponsorship and produces and distributes the publication every 2 years.
