Seniors' Week is June 3–9, 2013

Seniors' Week 2013: "Creative and Inspirational"

Alberta Health

Seniors make a difference in our communities every day. From working, supporting family members and friends to assisting charities and volunteering, seniors are deeply involved in our communities and their contributions benefit Albertans of all ages.


Each year, Albertans are encouraged to join the festivities by attending one of the many Seniors’ Week events to be held across the province. Whether planning an event or enjoying one with the seniors in your life, please take the time to acknowledge Alberta’s seniors and all that they contribute to our quality of life. Your participation in Seniors' Week helps highlight and show appreciation for Alberta's seniors.

Here is a list of  Seniors' Week activities in our area:
