JUNE 3 – 9, 2024

Seniors’ Week

Aging is more… ‘let’s enjoy the journey together’

Recognized annually across Alberta, Seniors’ Week takes place June 3 - 9, 2024. It’s an opportunity to show appreciation for older adults and the many contributions they make to our communities through volunteerism, assisting charities and by supporting family members and friends.

This year’s theme is Aging is more... and is focused on exciting all Calgarians about aging. We invite all organizations, groups, local businesses and everyday citizens to imagine fun and inclusive celebratory events as a way to recognize Seniors’ Week. We hope to increase awareness of the week and develop a positive attitude towards aging.

We have created a toolkit for organizations interested in hosting an event. To receive the toolkit, please email agefriendlycalgary@calgary.ca and tell us about your event.
