This year marks the 40th anniversary of Seniors’ Week, when the Government of Alberta honours and recognizes seniors for their invaluable contributions to our province. Seniors’ Week will take place from June 1 to 7 and will be kicked off with a provincial launch event on June 1st in the City of Grand Prairie.
Communities are also invited to plan their own events and activities to honor seniors locally. To support these efforts, the official Seniors’ Week poster is available online and can be downloaded and shared widely within your community.
To demonstrate your community’s support of seniors and to generate greater awareness of their importance in Alberta, all municipalities, First Nations communities, and Metis Settlements are encouraged to officially declare Seniors’ Week.
To officially declare Seniors’ Week in Alberta, a declaration is made by a senior official (i.e., Mayor/Reeve, Chief) at the community level. All communities that notify us that they have declared Seniors’ Week will be recognized on our website.
To assist communities in declaring Seniors’ Week, a sample Community Declaration for your community to consider using is available on the Seniors’ Week website. If your community declares Seniors’ Week, kindly inform us at seniorsinformation@gov.ab.ca by May 31, 2026, with supporting documentation, if available. All communities that notify us that they have declared Seniors’ Week will be recognized on our website.
To learn more, please visit the Seniors’ Week website or email us at seniorsinformation@gov.ab.ca if you have any questions.
