WESeniors Strathcona

About Us

In early 2022, Strathcona County moved to invest funds for the next three years to create more support for older adults in the community. In late March, the County invited nonprofits to apply for this funding seeking a partner who could advocate, coordinate, and provide connection opportunities for seniors. A selection panel reviewed the submissions and chose the Westend Seniors Activity Centre (WSAC) (weseniors.ca) as the successful candidate. As a result, WESeniors Strathcona was born.

The partnership between Strathcona County and WESeniors Strathcona meets a need identified by the County’s Seniors Supports and Services Project. Over the past year, the project team’s research identified three priority actions to best support local older adults: establishing a non-profit to serve seniors in the County, supporting dedicated senior spaces, and enhancing seniors’ support and services across the County.

Starting this spring, our Friends of WESeniors Strathcona businesses and organizations will be here in person at our WESeniors Strathcona office. These speakers will provide valuable resources that will be helpful for seniors in Strathcona County. Our guest speakers will be available after their presentation for a Q&A session to answer any of your questions and they open up discussions about other needed resources.
