More than 707,000 seniors live in Alberta today, and that number continues to grow every year.
As more Albertans age, the demand for specialized seniors' care is growing alongside it. Seniors are living longer, often with more complex health needs, while many face challenges such as loneliness, reduced mobility, dementia and social isolation.
That's why we need your support this Seniors’ Month.
Even a gift of $50 can brighten a senior's day.
Your donation helps Covenant Foundation fund programs, equipment, spaces and innovations that enhance seniors' health, well-being and quality of life across Alberta.

Celebrating my parents who are thriving in retirement: doing what they love, staying active, and loving life as grandparents 💛
His love and the way she felt so safe with him are clear in this moment. He adored her, and she adored him right back. We lost him suddenly just a few years later, but I’m so grateful she has memories like this to hold onto, and that his love will always be part of her story.
This is me and my 91-year-old Baba.🤍 She is so caring, thoughtful, and considerate of others I can only hope to grow up to be just like her… and maybe one day make perogies as good as hers!
Grandpa Walter always made time to sit and colour with us, and we tried so hard to shade our colouring books just like him. It really was about the time he gave us, the patience he had, and the way he made each of us feel important just by sitting beside him. Here he is years later, still colouring… but this time with my kids. We were lucky to share a couple more birthdays after this.
My grandma spent a few wonderful years at St. Teresa’s in Calgary. As dementia progressed, we watched her slowly drift further away. Conversations became harder. Recognition faded. It’s a quiet kind of heartbreak. But then there were these small, unexpected moments. She would sit with my daughter, playing and laughing, completely at ease. In those moments, there was no confusion. Just connection. Just love.
