Join in celebrating International Day of Older Persons October 1, 2020.

 

Alberta Council on Aging calls on Albertan municipalities and their various organizations to join in celebrating International Day of Older Persons on Oct. 1, 2020.

This year marks the 75th Anniversary of the United Nations and the 30th Anniversary of the International Day of Older Persons (UNIDOP).
