Healthy Aging Alberta: Regional Gatherings Summary 2023
In the Spring of 2023, Healthy Aging Alberta (HAA) hosted our second annual Regional Gatherings across the province. Eight in-person Regional Gatherings were held in Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, Innisfail, Fort McMurray, Fort Saskatchewan, Calgary, Provost, and Grande Prairie. The purpose of the Gatherings was to learn from one another, strengthen regional networks, and support community-based senior serving organizations and allies from other systems, like housing and health. Each Gathering was tailored to fit regional trends and ongoing work unique to the area.
We had a total of 269 participants attend the Gatherings, and travel subsidies were made available to offset any cost barriers for rural and remote attendees travelling significant distances.
