Employee Training Opportunity
StrongerU Senior Fitness has joined forces with ASCHA to help members offer high-quality, dynamic, and effective fitness experiences for residents. Although intended for Activity and Wellness employees, any interested employees are eligible for the training. In the training, your employees will learn the fundamentals of fitness instruction (including anatomy, human movement, coaching, and modifying activity to individuals’ needs) and choreography, where they will apply the theory they have learned. And there’s more! Every month for a year, your trained employee will receive 30 minutes of brand-new content, rotating between cardio, strength training, flexibility, and balance. Along with the regular fitness instruction training, StrongerU Senior Fitness offers DROM instructor training - learn how to offer this engaging mix of drumming, exercise, and mindfulness. Find out more about the training and the discount for ASCHA Members - the discount also applies to the DROM program.

The Government of Alberta updated the annual income thresholds on May 21, 2025, which can be found here. This list, updated annually, provides the local income limit for community housing in municipalities throughout Alberta.

ASCHA has developed a series of Sector Fact Sheets to help various audiences better understand the different types of housing our members offer – across the full continuum of community and seniors housing options. Our Fact Sheets provide an overview of housing types, their role in the continuum, their benefits, and key advocacy points. We hope you will find these useful for your own public awareness and advocacy efforts.

Our Meeting Albertans’ Needs Across the Housing Spectrum Fact Sheet provides a high-level overview of all housing types and serves as a basis for specific housing program fact sheets that are currently under development.

Our Alberta Seniors Lodge Program Fact Sheet is the first of many in the series.

Our Seniors Housing Options in Alberta Fact Sheet provides a succinct overview of the housing options available to seniors in the province. 

You can find our fact sheets in the Advocacy section of our website under “Current Initiatives.”

More tools specifically for members are published in our Members-Only Area.

2025 marks our 60th year representing housing providers in Alberta and advocating for solutions to address issues within the seniors housing and community housing continuums.

We have much to celebrate and invite you to join us in the many festivities we have planned throughout the year!
