Running from June 3 – 9, Seniors’ Week celebrates local seniors for their community contributions and vibrancy. In recognition, older adults 50+ and seniors 65+ are invited to take part in a variety of community events, including educational opportunities, live entertainment, health and wellness sessions, luncheons and more.

“This year we have an incredible week of activities planned to celebrate the seniors in our community,” says Kim Krawec, Manager of FCSS, Town of Cochrane. “Thanks to our partners, volunteers, supporters and sponsors, we are able to host a week filled with all kinds of wonderful programs tailored towards seniors.” This year’s sponsors include Cochrane Home Treasures, Two Pharmacy, Rocky View Private Healthcare, Rocky View County FCSS and our platinum sponsor, Mayfair Diagnostics. 

Seniors are invited to register and attend the seniors’ week kick-off event on Sunday, June 2, a free BBQ luncheon at the Legion with a music jam to follow. Starting at 11:30 a.m., residents can enjoy their choice of hamburger, veggie burger or hotdog with salad and dessert. Registration for this event is open until May 27.

In addition to the scheduled events, residents over the age of 60 can ride Cochrane’s Local On-Demand Transit, COLT, for free all week.
