Welcome to our Senior Program, a key initiative of Empowering Emerging Communities of Alberta. This program is specifically designed to support seniors, providing them with the resources, skills, and social connections they need to thrive.

Our aim is to ensure that seniors feel welcomed, supported, and integrated into their society through lifelong learning. We also offer seniors skill-building workshops and educational opportunities while encouraging social connections through various activities and events where seniors can meet and connect with peers.
