UNISON AT KERBY CENTRE

Centrally located in downtown Calgary, Kerby Centre has been a landmark for Calgary Seniors since 1973.   Unison is a not-for-profit organization which empowers individuals aged 50 and above to lead fulfilling lives.  Built upon the rich history of the Veiner Centre and Kerby Centre, Unison is inspired by a century of community-building and senior well-being. Adapting to evolving communication methods, Unison honours the legacy while expanding outreach to previously underserved seniors. With gratitude for past contributions, Unison at Kerby takes a unified step forward to ensure all seniors can live their best lives.

Unison at Kerby's services include Active Aging, Senior Supports (housing, benefits & pensions, legal questions, taxes), Thrive Food Safety (bringing food and bread clinics to Calgary communities and Super Member Centres to combat hunger), Wellness Connection Centre, Adult Day Program, and Elder Abuse Outreach and Shelter.

Elder Abuse Shelter & Outreach

Elder Abuse is any action or inaction by a person in a position of trust that causes harm or distress to an older adult within the scope of emotional, financial, medication, physical, neglect or sexual abuse. The two most frequently identified and reported types of elder abuse in Canada are financial and emotional. Unison Elder Abuse Shelter is for individuals of any gender, aged 55 or older, who are actively escaping abuse. If you or someone you know may be experiencing elder abuse, please call:

Elder Abuse Resource Line (EARL) 403-705-3250.

Anyone can phone this number, whether you are a concerned family member, community member, survivor of abuse or a related individual. To make a report on a suspected case of elder abuse, please call the police non-emergency line at 403-266-1234. If this is an emergency or someone you know is at immediate risk, please call 911. If you are in emotional distress, please call Distress Centre Calgary at 403-266-4357.
