Edmonton Seniors Coordinating Council
We bring people, ideas, and information together to build collaborative approaches to services, supports and circumstances affecting older adults.

Point of connection for collaborative action
By providing a point of connection, we facilitate collaborative action on issues affecting older Edmontonians. We work with organizations that serve older adults to support healthy aging.
