The goal of the senior’s program is to make seniors self-reliant, healthy and secure. Indo Canadian Women’s Association (ICWA) has been helping ethnic and new immigrant seniors for last 32 years to build a new life in Canada. Seniors are often house bound due to language barriers and inability to move about on their own.  Consequently majority of them remain isolated in long winter period and feel bored, sad and depressed. They never learn any winter sports and have little desire to go for a walk or any exercise. Community based supportive counselling helps to alleviate these problems.

Senior’s group is facilitated by Rajbir Kharod remains a renowned gathering for the seniors. Each meeting is attended by 20 – 25 men who discuss various issues.  Attendees are informed about such times as the recreational activities in which they can engage, Alberta Seniors Benefit that they can access.  Often the participants want to talk about other topics and the facilitators arrange for these sessions accordingly.
