Lethbridge Seniors of Distinction Awards

We can all think of a senior who has made a difference in our lives. They are mentors, teachers, grandparents and loved ones. They are volunteers and role models. Every day, seniors in Lethbridge and  area make a big difference in our community.

In honour of National Seniors Day on October 1st, AgeCare Columbia along with out partners has created the Seniors of Distinction Awards. We have been joined this year by our partner sponsors: Lethbridge Senior Citizens Organization, Lethbridge Herald, Nord-Bridge, Kurt’s Kustom Photography and CTV.

The senior awards in Lethbridge is an occasion to recognize local seniors and the valuable contributions they have made, and continue to make, in our communities,workplaces, and families.
