Seniors鈥� Week is well underway in Jasper, with the Pluckin' Holler Boys entertaining the folks at Alpine Summit Seniors Lodge on Monday evening.
A Children鈥檚 Silly Walk Parade 鈥� featuring children from 脡cole Jasper Elementary School, 脡cole Desrochers and the Wildflowers Childcare 鈥� was scheduled to march past the lodge on Wednesday, which did not occur before press time.
Alpine Summit will host a Dollar a Card Community Seniors BINGO Bonanza on Friday, June 9 at 3 p.m.
In addition, the Municipality of Jasper is hosting a tea on June 8 at 2 p.m. in the multi-purpose hall at the Activity Centre.
The tea will feature a selection of treats, coffee and tea from Glenda the Great.
Council also proclaimed June 5-11, 2023 as Seniors鈥� Week in Jasper during its Tuesday meeting.
Since 1986, Seniors鈥� Week has been recognized to celebrate and recognize the contributions seniors make to enhance the quality of life in Alberta.
Seniors鈥� Week was inspired by the vision of the late Alice Modin, who began a campaign to start a seniors鈥� day in Strathcona County that helped pave the way for Seniors鈥� Week.
