Seniors and Elders Service Award Program Now Accepting Nominees

Seniors and Elders make a difference every day in St. Albert. To recognize their valuable contributions to our community, the City of St. Albert has introduced the new Seniors and Elders Service Award Program.

Residents or organizations can now nominate individuals who meet the following criteria:

  • Nominees must reside in St. Albert or have made a significant impact in St. Albert within the last five years.
  • Nominees should be recommended based on their extraordinary service or contribution to the city as a senior or for the benefit of seniors, which service or contribution is recognized as being remarkable, going 'above and beyond', and a significant dedication of time and talents. This could be through formal volunteering with an organization and/or service or informal contributions in the community.
  • Nominees must be 55 years of age or older or have served seniors/elders in St. Albert.

In the Spring of each year, the Seniors Advisory Committee will recommend successful applicants to Council.

At the beginning of June, Council will formally acknowledge the recipients by name and with a token of recognition at a Seniors’ Week event.

If you know a St. Albert senior who makes an extraordinary difference in the community or someone who should be recognized for their contributions with seniors in St. Albert, nominate them today!

Nominations are now being accepted in person at St. Albert Place or online until March 1, 2025.
