Recreation and Wellness Directory for Older Adults 1

What is the directory?

The Recreation and Wellness Directory for Older Adults provides an overview of arts, fitness, technology, health and recreational activities for adults 55+ in the Edmonton area.

With more than 1200 courses, clubs, programs and events listed, the directory is a valuable resource for older adults and those who support older adults.

The directory is produced by the Edmonton Seniors Coordinating Council (ESCC) with contributions this year from 54 organizations.

What is the ESCC?

The Edmonton Seniors Coordinating Council works with senior service agencies and other stakeholders in the seniors sector to enhance the lives of Edmonton seniors.

We help organizations collaborate to improve coordination of services for seniors by facilitating sector meetings, planning for service improvements, coordinating projects and producing resources.

We also facilitate resource-sharing and communication in the sector which enhances the capacity of organizations to provide effective, accessible services to meet the diverse needs of seniors.

Age Friendly Edmonton is an exciting strategic initiative to help create a community that values, respects and actively supports the safety, diversity and well-being of seniors.

This work is being lead by the City of Edmonton and the Edmonton Seniors Coordinating Council in partnership with various community stakeholders and supports Edmonton’s work as a Global Age Friendly City.

An age friendly city is an inclusive place where age is not a barrier to access services, programs, businesses or facilities. Creating an age friendly city helps us all.

More course choice and flexibility with Reciprocal Program Registration

Eleven seniors centres allow reciprocal program registration which means that members of a participating centre can register for instructional courses at another participating centre for the member rate, instead of paying a non-member rate.

What you need to know about reciprocal program registration:• Reciprocal registration applies to instructional courses only. However, some centres will accept

reciprocal registration for social events, non-instructional programming and clubs. Check with the centre you want to register with.

• You must show a valid membership card from one of the participating centres in order to register.

• Participating centres have different registration procedures, so contact the centre to find out what you need to know to register.
