Carolyn Melnychuk did not make it to the meeting but she is back in town. We look forward to seeing you next week Carolyn.
Our Speaker this week was Beth Mansell from Sage Seniors Association. Beth talked about the services that her organisation offers to the senior population. They primarily support underprivileged seniors in Central Edmonton.
The objects for which Sage Seniors Association (Sage) is established are to enhance the quality of life of older persons and their families through the work of staff and volunteers, and in collaboration with stakeholders, by providing:
- Services that promote socialization, intellectual stimulation, skill and information acquisition;
- Services that enhance the safety and well-being of older persons who are, or who may become, isolated, disadvantaged or at-risk in the community;
- Information and services that assist older persons to participate as active members of the community and to reside safely in accommodation that meets their needs; and
- Research and advocacy on issues affecting older persons.
