"Rise in the presence of the aged, and show respect for the elderly."

Seniors Advocate appointed

Home > Blog > Seniors Advocate appointed

The newly appointed Seniors Advocate’s mandate is “to HELP seniors
NAVIGATE the various publicly funded services available to them
& PROVIDE EDUCATION on ISSUES AFFECTING SENIORS, “including
matters such as elder abuse, age friendly communities, older
workers and ageism.”
Just as the previous appointees, this Seniors Advocate appointee
is given NO POWER. She shares this flawed position with other
agencies such as the OFFICE OF THE OMBUDSMAN, the PATIENT ADVOCATE
the ALBERTA MENTAL HEALTH ADVOCATE, PROTECTION FOR PERSONS IN
CARE. All are just a facade, a deception.
All are costing us, the taxpayer, millions and millions of dollars
but provide little or no protection and guarantee no rights to older
