Each year, the Canada Safety Council hosts National Seniors Safety Week. This year, our centre decided to host an event where we could educate our members on a variety of topics.
What a fantastic day! Over 50 people attended our National Seniors Safety Day event today and it was wonderful to see everyone! We opened the event with greetings from our MLAs Lorne Dach and Lori Sigurdson. Attendees enjoyed free coffee and muffins as our Executive Director, Dr. Haidong Liang welcomed everyone and showcased our Senior Fraud Alert website (www.seniorfraudalert.ca). This website was created by the YEG Seniors Alliance and features videos on frauds targeting older adults and others.
The registration day is December 13th from 2:30 p.m.
