Seniors' Week 2025

Why a Seniors’ Week?

Seniors’ Week was inspired by the vision of the late Alice Modin. “More than 30 years ago, Modin began a campaign to start a seniors’ day in Strathcona County that helped pave the way for Seniors’ Week”. – Alberta.ca

Recognized annually across Alberta since the time of its inception in 1986, Seniors’ Week is an opportunity to show appreciation for seniors and the many contributions they make to enhance the quality of life in Alberta.

In Calgary, Age Friendly Calgary has adopted the theme in 2025 to “Explore, Engage, and Boldly Embrace Aging in Calgary.” All organizations, groups, local businesses and everyday citizens are invited to imagine fun and inclusive celebratory events as a way to recognize Seniors’ Week.

          The blue-ribbon campaign is intended to help elevate the needs of our seniors – now and in the future.

          We invite you to wear a blue and white ribbon as a way to show your support and celebrate Alberta’s seniors.

          Become a Friend of Silvera to receive your ribbon today!
