Conversation cafe: Learning from B.C.s approach to raise the profile of community-based seniors organizations
As conversations are happening around Alberta to explore the creation of a provincial community-based seniors serving sector, we have been looking to British Columbia which has already established this type of network.
Kahir Lalji, Provincial Director of Population Health with the United Way of the Lower Mainland, has led the development and coordination of British Columbias initiative. Through a community development and network-based approach, this work has led to increased awareness, funding, collaboration and policy development for the community-based sector at the local and provincial government levels.
ESCC, with the support of the City of Edmonton, is pleased to bring Kahir to Edmonton to share his insights with seniors serving organizations at our December conversation cafe and seasonal gathering.
Kahir will speak about the process and how the initiative evolved, where British Columbia is at now, and what difference it is making for the seniors sector. There will be opportunity for questions and answers following his presentation as well as facilitated table discussions.
The conversation cafe and seasonal gathering will take place:
December 5, 2019
9:30 a.m. 12 p.m.
Ital-Canadian Seniors Drop-In Centre (9111 110 Avenue)
Registration for the conversation cafe is free. From noon to 1 p.m. there will be festive lunch for those who choose to purchase this option via the event registration. The meal will cost $25 and will include:
-Maple roasted ham
-Scalloped potatoes
-Corn with roasted bell peppers
-Freshly baked rolls
-Spinach salad with a cranberry vinaigrette
or
Vegetarian lasagna
Parking is available in the lot west of the centre. Overflow parking is available in the Commonwealth Stadium Parking Lot.
Closed captioning will be available.
We hope you will join us to talk about raising the profile of community-based senior serving organizations and celebrate the season.
Register by Friday, November 29, 2019.
