Alberta seniors look for opportunities to consult with new cabinet team
Across the province, more and more seniors are hoping that the provincial government will consult with, listen to, and consider their opinions; and are sending out this message as the new cabinet team, announced recently, start to become familiar with their respective portfolios.
SUN Vice-President, Richard Tansey says ‘this can be accomplished, with good communication strategies, concrete plans, evaluation methods, and follow-up, [especially as it relates to decisions that impact the health and well-being of seniors].’

Alberta seniors are truly afraid…
Locally...Not just one, but close to 200 seniors, from around the province, added their thoughts and comments as they responded to a 20-question mail-in survey. Average age of respondents (64%) was 72-84 years. Participants were asked to expand on their personal experiences with the healthcare system, wait lists, deregulation, and housing for seniors needing medical care.

What is it really about? It’s not about talking slower, or louder.
With all the Town Hall meetings, Public Forums, Survey’s, Breakout Groups, and Task Force initiatives, one would think that the Government (of the day) has had ample opportunities to ‘get it right’.
But what exactly are they trying to get… or more poignantly, ‘why haven’t they’ (gotten it right)? Perhaps in reality it is our local politicians, and not the seniors, who need to be spoken to more slowly… perhaps we have yet to raise our voices loud enough (to be heard).
