Who we are
The Jewish Seniors Citizen’s Centre is proud to have been serving Edmonton Seniors for over 70 years.
In 1982, we also started to provide weekly programming for Jewish immigrants from the former Soviet Union, most of whom are holocaust survivors. This program is known as The Sunday Club here participants can talk in Russian, Yiddish and English.
We are a registered charitable, non-profit organization.
