Silvera is recognized as a trusted leader and a strong advocate for affordable and well-priced housing on behalf of seniors in Calgary.  

We partner with all orders of government to deliver on our commitment of ensuring that independent older adults have access to safe and affordable housing options, and to services and supports to meet their lifestyle needs.

By providing policy input with all levels of government and tirelessly advocating for capital funding and innovative approaches to deliver more needed affordable housing for independent older adults, we are both a champion of seniors living in Calgary and we are an accountable to our government partners.

We provide policy input with all levels of government and tirelessly advocate for capital funding to deliver new housing. We work hard to ensure affordable, accessible programs and services for seniors are a priority for all governments.

Our passionate and collaborative leaders work with housing organizations in Calgary and senior housing providers throughout Alberta about issues that matter to seniors.

Silvera’s CEO, Arlene Adamson, is president of the Alberta Seniors & Community Housing Association, a member driven, industry association that advocates on behalf of seniors and community housing providers, and those they serve.

Our 11-person governance Board of Directors of voluntary community leaders guides our long-term strategic direction.
