Celebrate Seniors’ Week in Fort Saskatchewan
Join us June 2–8, 2025
Seniors’ Week has been celebrated in Alberta since 1986, inspired by the late Alice Modin’s vision to recognize the vital role seniors play in our communities. Nearly 40 years later, we continue that tradition by honouring the wisdom, experience, and contributions of older adults — right here in Fort Saskatchewan.
This year marks the 39th annual celebration, and we’re excited to offer two community favourites: the Seniors’ Tea, a vintage-inspired afternoon of music and connection, and Nominate a Senior, where residents can surprise a local senior with a doorstep plant delivery.
