This program has been developed to address a significant gap in the industry of Physical Activity Programs for older adults residing in Alberta communities.  As the demographics of Alberta shift toward an aging majority, the demand for exercise/physical activity programs specifically designed for the older adult is continually increasing.  This manual will provide practitioners and leaders with an exercise program appropriate and adaptable for Older Adults housed both within the community and seniors facilities.

TARGET:   Practitioners working with the rural older adult population residing in seniors’ facilities and communities throughout Alberta.
