What We Do

Securing a Brighter Future for Older Adults

Who We Are

Saskatoon Council on Aging (SCOA) is a community-based, not-for-profit organization and a vital resource centre serving a vibrant community of adults aged 55 and over. SCOA was founded in 1991 by a group of passionate seniors and grew out of recognizing the need for a centralized resource centre for older adults in Saskatoon and surrounding areas.

SCOA is focused on meeting the needs of the approximately 80,000 older adults living in Saskatoon and surrounding areas. We achieve this by offering a range of courses, activities and services tailored to promote healthy aging. Additionally, we are committed to important research and advocacy to support older adults and promote positive change within our communities.
