Drumheller Regional Gathering

Get ready to connect with like-minded individuals at the Central Regional Gathering in Drumheller!

Healthy Aging Alberta’s Regional Gatherings are in-person events hosted across the province by our Regional Community Developers. They bring together people who support older adults every day — from senior centres and service clubs to community organizations, volunteers, and local partners

This year, Regional Gatherings are leaning even more into connection, conversation, and community-led learning.

Regional Gatherings are open to:

· Senior centres and service clubs

· Community-based seniors-serving organizations

· Volunteers supporting older adults

· Care partners

· Allied partners in health, housing, and community services

· Older adults themselves — your voices matter

Whether you’re part of a large organization or a small grassroots group, you belong here.

You can expect:

• Interactive, practical workshops focused on building older adults’ natural supports.

• Tools and activities you can take home and use in your own community.

• Conversation-based learning as well as formal presentations.

• Time to talk through real scenarios with people who understand your local context.

• More space for networking and relationship-building.

Each gathering is designed to help stitch together local knowledge, lived experience, and community strengths — so no one is working in isolation, and everyone has something to contribute.
