FAFA IN NUMBERS
Target population
36,000
Between 2016 and 2021, the number of seniors in Canada increased by 18.3%. This “is the second largest increase in 75 years, following that observed from 2011 to 2016” (Statistics Canada). What’s more, according to the 2016 census, the median age of Francophones was 7.5 years older than that of the total population in the province, and Francophones over 50 accounted for around 37% of Alberta’s official language minority population.

To best serve Alberta’s 36,000 francophone seniors and young retirees, FAFA relies on regional seniors’ groups. The dedication and skills of these seniors’ ambassadors provide us with invaluable support in setting up each new project. It’s thanks to this presence throughout Alberta that FAFA is able to successfully carry out its regional activities. We realize that it is important for the future to turn as much to supporting our existing groups as to creating and supporting the emergence of new groups to counteract the dissolution of some of our groups in recent years.
