SUMMIT 2024: Encircling Older Adult Care; STRENGTHENING VOLUNTEERISM IN SK

This in-person summit is for anyone interested, curious, or knowledgeable about older adult care, health, and wellness. Do you support a close one, or anticipate you will in the future? Are you a professional looking to promote your project, business, or initiative? Are you a change-maker interested in redefining how we spend our later years? Are you a student or a person looking for new volunteer opportunities? Or maybe you want to learn about many of the services, programs, and initiatives that support and serve older adults in Saskatchewan?

We aim to foster new connections within the areas of older adult health and wellness. We hope these connections lead to a strengthened community and meaningful collaborations to ENCIRCLE CARE, HEALTH, & WELLNESS offerings for older adults.
