SouthWest Edmonton Seniors Association (SWESA) is one of Edmonton’s newest seniors’ centres and we invite you to join us!

• Instructional Classes and Drop-in Activities (e.g., fitness, arts and crafts, informational talks and workshops, games and cards, coffee and chat)
• Services (e.g. access to home support services, book shops, a puzzle exchange, volunteer opportunities).
• Events and Activities (e.g. choir, book club)

Coffee and Chat
Seniors, do you remember the coffee shop in your little town or in your neighbourhood?
They were everywhere, a gathering place for the community, a homey place where you
would feel welcome and included.
The “coffee shop” concept is alive and well! SouthWest Edmonton Seniors Association
has three locations for Cafe SWESA. All kinds of interesting people gather, hear lots of
opinions, share information, laugh a lot, commiserate and make everyone feel at home.
To find out about Café SWESA times and locations, check page 10 of our Program
Guide at http://swesa.ca/program-guide/or drop by our office.

Petrolia Seniors Group Offers Activities for Seniors
Petrolia Seniors has existed for the past many years, since 1987. It continues to be a popular, informal group offering an opportunity to seniors in the Southwest Edmonton neighborhoods of
Greenfield, Royal Gardens, Westbrook, Aspen Gardens, Lendrum, Malmo, Duggan, Steinhauer, Blue Quill, Erminskin, Yellowbird, Riverbend and others to meet, to socialize and to enjoy interesting speakers or entertainers at luncheons, as well aa participate in other planned outings. Of benefit to many seniors has been the opportunity for fellowship, friendship, support, sharing, and caring--regardless of creed, color, religious or political affiliation. Petrolia Seniors’ aim is to provide an opportunity to enjoy fun and educational activities with the “least amount” of Red Tape, Rules and Regulations. Hopefully it will continue, if needed, for many years to come.

An additional “outing” is offered each month for your enjoyment
