To appreciate the physical and mental challenges seniors face every day, more than
160 Alberta Seniors and Community Supports staff took part in the
Senior FriendlyTM
program. The program helped raise the awareness of staff about aging process.
This commitment by staff has resulted in the sponsor of the program, the
Alberta
Council on Aging, awarding the Ministry of Seniors, the “Senior
Friendly” designation. The designation is only awarded to an organization after more than 60 per cent of
staff have taken the Seniors Friendly Seminar.
