Edmonton Seniors Coordinating Council - AGM

Join the Edmonton Seniors Coordinating Council on April 28, 2017 from 9:30-Noon as we host our Annual General Meeting at the Italian-Canadian Seniors Centre located at 9111-110 Avenue.
We are pleased to welcome City of Edmonton Councillor Scott McKeen and Michael Phair as our guest speakers and their panel topic will be Social Connection in a Fragmented World.

The issue of urban isolation prompted Councillor McKeen to launch a Council initiative aimed at raising awareness of the value of connection to a supportive community as a way to address stress, depression, loneliness and isolation.

Michael Phair has been championing isolation reduction in the LGBTQ seniors community for several years. This work has focused on creating a supportive community which is inclusive and welcoming. Join us as these two gentlemen reflect on where they see promise in reduction of isolation and what that means for Edmonton seniors.

It is also a time when we say thank you to retiring Board members and welcome new Board members. There will be opportunities to network and make new connections so we hope you can join us.

The ESCC is committed to stimulating collective efforts to continue to build an Age Friendly Edmonton that supports the well-being of seniors.

I look forward to seeing you on April 28th.

Sincerely,

Sheila Hallett, Executive Director
Edmonton Seniors Coordinating Council
