Why Should You Join Alberta Council on Aging?

Currently over 13% of the Canadian population is over the age of 65, and it is estimated that in the newt 25 years that number will be as high as 27.4%.  Now is the time to start thinking about how the aging population should influence the design of our world around us.

All Seniors and those over the age of 50 should belong to the Alberta Council on Aging (ACA).  The sheer numbers of Seniors will create a powerful force in the private sector as well as is in public policy.  As he baby-boomer generation matures, Seniors will have strong representation in our society both as consumers as well as strong advocates for aging parents.   ACA will represent the concerns and opinions of Seniors throughout the province through meetings, research and surveys that will support the work of our Committees. 

ACA will work with the Directors and members to develop programs and services that will assist both Seniors and Senior serving organizations.  ACA will educate Seniors of the services and programs that are available to assist them in addition to educating the public on the needs of the Seniors of Alberta. 

The Standing Committees of ACA:

Health Committee
Policy Advisory Committee (PAC)
Senior Friendly™ Committee
Senior Centres of Alberta Network
