Seniors’ Week is June 1 to 7, 2026
In 2026, Alberta proudly celebrates the 40th anniversary of Seniors’ Week. Inspired by the vision of the late Alice Modin, Seniors’ Week has been recognized since 1986 to celebrate the contributions seniors make to enhance the quality of life in Alberta. Forty years ago, Modin began a campaign to start a seniors’ day in Strathcona County that helped pave the way for this annual event.
The week of festivities is kicked off with a provincial launch event co-hosted by the Alberta government and a community or organization.
Provincial launch co-host
The City of Grande Prairie will co-host the 2026 Seniors’ Week provincial launch event on June 1.
