It was a great honour to be a guest speaker at this year’s convention held in Saskatoon, our founding organization’s homestead. The two-day
event “The Older I Get…” hosted many great speakers who shed a
light on current issues related to health and aging. I was able to bring
a political message to the group on the NPF current campaigns and
highlight the need for all to get involved. Not only was the SSAI
Convention a grand success for the delegates but for NPF as well…they
have committed to send their full delegation to our September Convention
in Regina! Thank-you to all!
Guest Speakers included: Scott Livingston, CEO, Sask Health Authority
and Dr. Micheal Howard-Tripp the Deputy Registrar of the College of
Physicians and Surgeons. Topics of general interest and health were also
covered by several local community service providers.
SSAI is represented by seven regional clubs across the province with a
membership base of 5,000 strong. Their primary goal is older adult
advocacy; ensuring an organized forum is available for all senior’s
voice in matters of pensions, health care, housing, transpiration,
leadership in programs and representation at all levels of government.
