Camrose County residents are invited to mark the 40th anniversary of Seniors’ Week with a full day of free community programming on June 3, 2026. Following an official proclamation by Camrose County Council on May 12, the week of June 1 to June 7 is dedicated to celebrating the past, present, and future contributions of older residents throughout the region.
The Camrose Seniors Coalition, a group coordinated by Older Adult Services, a program of Camrose & District Family and Community Support Services, has organized a variety of activities for the June 3 celebration. The event will run from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm and aims to provide both resources and entertainment for the community.
The day begins with a Seniors’ Resource Fair, where attendees can meet with local organizations to learn about available support services. Following this, the afternoon features Sweet Tea & Broadway Tunes, offering music and refreshments. The day concludes with the Raising a Ruckus Country Fair, a multigenerational event open to families that includes a chili cook-off, square dancing, and a petting zoo.
These festivities are part of the broader Seniors’ Week, which has been recognized across Alberta since 1986. Inspired by the vision of the late Alice Modin, local initiatives like these continue to support the wellness of the senior community, which is also served year-round by organizations such as the Camrose & District Senior Centre Society. The society operates the Mirror Lake Centre, a facility dedicated to the physical, mental, and spiritual wellness of area seniors.
