[Recorded Webinar] Age-Friendly Communities for LGBTQ2S+ Seniors
Alberta Age-Friendly Community of Practice (CoP) Diverse Seniors Webinar Series
The Alberta Age-Friendly Community of Practice (CoP) is designed to help communities that are pursuing age-friendliness to connect and share ideas, best practices and expertise. The CoP also works together on matters of priority to the group. The CoP has planned a five-session webinar series focused on how age-friendly communities can foster a sense of belonging for diverse populations of seniors. All sessions will be virtual.
The overall goals for the series are:
• Help to foster a shared understanding of the needs of diverse populations of seniors.
• Identify enablers to the inclusion of diverse populations of seniors.
• Encourage and facilitate a variety of local initiatives that support a sense of belonging for diverse populations of seniors.

LGBTQ2S+ Seniors
Seniors are a diverse group, including different cultural and ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientation and those with disabilities. This session will discuss challenges LGBTQ2S+ seniors experience and explore ways to support their inclusion in age-friendly planning and initiatives that communities could undertake to support a “sense of belonging”. The session will include time for questions and answers.
