Central Alberta Mayors Walk to Spread Awareness on Falls Prevention

Central Alberta mayors walked in unison on Tuesday to bring awareness to Falls Prevention Month this November.

After missing two years due to the pandemic, the Central Alberta Falls Prevention Coalition held their sixth annual “Walk with the Mayors” event at the Penhold Multiplex (Waskasoo Ave) from 9:30 – 11 a.m. Alongside Kings Kingdom pre-school students, the mayors of Penhold, Red Deer, Bowden, Innisfail, Sundre, Sylvan Lake, and Olds were all present.

The mayors read aloud a proclamation designating the month as Seniors’ Falls Prevention Month, aiming to provide older adults and practitioners with the latest information and resources to help reduce the risk of falling and encourage seniors to live an active and independent lifestyle.
