County Declares June 6 -12 as Seniors' Week

At their regular meeting on May 24, 2022 Saddle Hills County Council declared June 6 -12 as Seniors' Week.

Seniors’ Week has been recognized since 1986 to celebrate and recognize the contributions seniors make to enhance the quality of life in Alberta. The province-wide Seniors’ Week was inspired by the vision of the late Alice Modin. More than 30 years ago, Modin began a campaign to start a seniors’ day in Strathcona County that helped pave the way for Seniors’ Week. Each year, organizations hold events in communities throughout the province to show their support for seniors by declaring Seniors’ Week locally. The week of festivities is kicked off with a provincial launch event hosted by Seniors and Housing partnering with a community or organization.
