Seniors' Week is June 5-11, 2023. Celebrated annually, Senior’s Week supports the vision of Calgary as an age-friendly city where all people have lifelong opportunities to thrive.
Did you know YMCA’s community of seniors are the backbone of our volunteer base, and also make up a great portion of our Membership program? We are grateful for their continued support to YMCA Calgary, and for helping provide a safe and welcoming place where everyone belongs.
Let’s celebrate the wisdom, commitment, and kindness our older adults share with us every day! Invite your favourite seniors and join us for the events below:

Coffee Socials & Intergenerational Art Project

Take a moment to enjoy some coffee and community at your local YMCA while reflecting on the question – ‘What Makes You Happy?”.
Participants of all ages will have the opportunity to draw or write about “What Makes You Happy” on paper squares that will be added to a collective, intergenerational art display at one of our community hubs in the north or south.
These coffee socials are the perfect chance to visit before or after enjoying other YMCA amenities. All ages are welcome.
