The Need:
Southwest Edmonton is a rapidly growing and culturally diverse area, home to more than 20,000 people over the age of 55. There are two major recreational facilities that include some senior’s fitness programs and a couple of well-loved neighbourhood seniors centres. What the Southwest does not have – is a gathering place and social programs that are available for all seniors, as is the c
ase in most other parts of the city. A Grassroots Movement:
Since it’s beginning in 2011, over 400 people have signed up to become SWESA members and attend events. If you are 55 years old or older, you are invited to become a member. If you are younger but keen to support the development of this senior’s resource, consider joining the volunteer team. Improving Quality of Life:
SWESA wants to enhance the quality of life for seniors by providing programs and information
and by creating an environment where it is easy to meet and make friends. SWESA offers some of these services directly as well as works with other seniors’ and community organizations to offer programs in partnership. SWESA also provides information about other seniors programs being offered in SW Edmonton. On our website you’ll find information on programs in SouthWest Edmonton and valuable links to websites for broader City, Provincial and Federal services. SWESA- A Great Place to be 55+!
