2019 Recreation and Wellness Directory for Older Adults 1

Overview of the Directory

The Recreation and Wellness Directory for Older Adults outlines arts, fitness, technology, health, social, and recreational activities for adults 55+ in the Edmonton area.

With 1400 group programs, clubs, courses, 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 66 organizations.

Edmonton Seniors Coordinating Council

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.

MORE CHOICE AND FLEXIBILITY WITH RECIPROCAL PROGRAM REGISTRATION

Twelve Edmonton seniors centres allow reciprocal program registration. This 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 to register.• Participating centres have different registration procedures, so contact the centre to find

out what you need to know to register.
