Seniors’ Week is celebrated annually across Alberta, and it will be held this year from June 3 to June 9. It is a time to show appreciation for older adults and the significant contributions they make to our communities. They support their families and friends, volunteer their time and resources to various charities, and play an essential role in making our communities better places to live.
The theme, ‘Aging is More…’, is deliberately open-ended to highlight the potential of aging. Seniors’ Week is not just for older adults, but it’s a time when seniors-sector organizations, not-for-profits, businesses, and Calgarians from all walks of life come together to organize fun, inclusive, cross-cultural, and multi-generational events in our city.
Get involved! Whether or not you choose to attend a Seniors’ Week event, Age-Friendly Calgary encourages you to celebrate aging in your own way. Help spread Seniors’ Week awareness with the social media hashtags #seniorsweek and #agefriendlyyyc.
Seniors’ Week events and updates will be posted at calgary.ca/seniorsweek.
