This release was issued under a previous government.

These celebrations will take place in Edmonton, Calgary, Leduc, Fairview and Stony Plain during the annual Seniors’ Week, running June 1-7.

Many Albertans volunteer their time, skills and energy to improve the lives of seniors across our province. Now, it’s our turn to honour this year’s Minister’s Seniors Service Award nominees.

The community celebrations are a way to recognize Albertans who make a difference for seniors through volunteer service. Every day, individuals and organizations help in so many ways – driving seniors to appointments, teaching computer skills, organizing events, or spending time with individuals.

Award recipients will be recognized in a special ceremony in the fall.
