PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND RECREATION
DIRECTORY FOR OLDER ADULTS
2012 – 2013
What is it?
The Physical Activity and Recreation Directory is a
listing of active living opportunities for older adults
living in Edmonton. It contains information about
physical activity, recreational, health and wellness,
and educational programs offered across the city.
Who is it for?
Originally created to help Edmonton practitioners
recommend appropriate activities for their older
adult clients, older adults can also use the directory
to find activities and programs.
How to submit your programming
information:
We rely on organizations and programmers to help
us keep the directories current and comprehensive.
For information on how to add or update your
organization’s program listings, please contact the
ESCC.
What We Do
The ESCC takes the lead in bringing stakeholders
together to plan for improvement to senior services.
We support and encourage shared planning,
coordination and collaboration among senior-serving
organizations in Edmonton, and we facilitate joint
planning to enhance the capacity of organizations to
provide effective, accessible services to meet the
diverse needs of seniors.
We are the communication hub for the senior sector
through weekly electronic bulletins, our website,
databases, the Physical Activity and Recreation
Directory for Older Adults, the Seniors Scene
published monthly in the Edmonton Examiner, and
other reports and publications.
The ESCC facilitates regular senior sector meetings
of Board representatives and Executive Directors;
Interagency Programmers; Interagency Outreach
Workers; the Edmonton Seniors Transportation
Steering Committee; the Yard Help/Snow Shovelling
Network and other committees.

The pool is a great place to get active and involved in aquafit
classes or individual swimming. Aquatic exercise limits stress
on joints, provides resistance for muscle strength and carries
less risks of falling in the water. Come on in, the water’s great!
We don’t stop playing because we grow old;
we grow old because we stop playing.
~ George Bernard Shaw

Arthritis or Stiff Joints?
Flexibility and strength are essential to keep
your muscles and joints healthy so that you
stay mobile. The more sedentary your
lifestyle, the stiffer your joints will become.
Ask your doctor or health care provider
what would be safe for you.
Some suggested activities include: home
stretching routines, aqua fitness programs,
walking/wheeling, yoga/Tai Chi and folk or
line dancing.
Osteoporosis?
Bones lose minerals and strength as people
age. Serious bone loss is a problem for
about 25% of older adults. You can prevent
some of this bone loss with strength
activities, but some activities may need to
be adapted to provide that benefit without
putting you at risk. Ask your doctor or
health care provider what would be
safe for you.
Some suggested activities include:
resistance training that challenges your
muscles and bones, aqua fitness programs,
walking and folk or line dancing.
Everyone can benefit from physical activity! Getting
regular exercise can help to reduce the risk of chronic
disease such as heart disease, high blood pressure and
cancer. Staying active also helps to preserve
independence, mobility, fitness, and mental wellbeing.

To support year-round and life-long creative aging, the Edmonton Seniors
Coordinating Council has also developed the Arts and Aging Toolkit – Edmonton
Edition, an information resource on professionally conducted community arts
programming for seniors. A component of the Toolkit is the Directory of Teaching
Artists, a searchable database of teaching artists in the Edmonton area. If you
would like to learn more about organizing quality arts programming for Edmonton
seniors, please visit www.seniorscouncil.net/arts-and-aging-toolkit.
The Creative Age Festival recognizes the
potential of arts to energize and change the
lives of seniors. The Festival is a celebration
of creative aging that showcases the talents
and contributions of senior artists and
encourages seniors to become more
involved in the arts.
The 2012 Creative Age Festival combined
popular Arts Cafés at senior centres
throughout the city with a focus on theatre!
A variety of interactive workshops were
offered including a Rock ‘n’ Roll session and
a chance to hone comedic improvisation
skills. Theatre performances were also
hosted at the Timms Centre for the Arts
and featured both local and out-of-town
senior acting groups.

on the 2013 Creative Age Festival!
