June 15 is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day

June 15 is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD). On this day, we acknowledge and recognize elder abuse as a public health and human rights issue. 

Everyone is encouraged to wear purple on June 15 to show support for WEAAD. In addition to wearing purple, Leduc County Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) is recognizing WEAAD in the following three ways:

1. Canada Revenue Agency workshop

Fraud and scams targeting older adults and seniors
  • Join Leduc County FCSS for a one-hour workshop presented by Canada Revenue Agency.
    • The workshop takes place on on June 15 at 2 p.m.
    • It is a free presentation that will be held virtually through a secure video meeting platform.
    • Participation requires internet access by computer, laptop or smart phone.
    • Open to residents of Leduc County, Calmar, Thorsby and Warburg. Registration is limited.
    • Register by June 12 by calling 780-955-4554.

2. Elder abuse awareness workshop

  • Join Leduc County FCSS for a one-hour telephone session presented in partnership with Seniors Centre Without Walls.
    • The workshop takes place on June 17 at 3 p.m. You do not need to pre-register.
    • To join the workshop, call 1-855-703-8985 at 2:45 p.m.
    • You will hear an automated voice with the following message: “Welcome to Zoom. Please enter your meeting ID number followed by #.” Please enter 225 573 6467#.
    • The next message will be the following: “Please enter the participant ID or press the # key to continue.” Please just press the # key. You will be asked to state your name and press the pound key (#). Please state your first name only.

3. Plant a seed for change

  • This year, we will plant wildflowers to symbolize the connection between older adults and our planet.
  • On June 15, take a picture of yourself planting your wildflower seeds and upload your picture to social media with the hashtags #UprootAbuse #LeducCounty for a chance to win a $50 gift card.
