Abstract

Community Links conducted a project in 2009-2010, funded by the Nova Scotia Gaming Foundation, to explore some issues around seniors and gambling. The three methods used to obtain information on this issue were: a survey sent to 190 senior leaders and senior-serving organizations, 5 focus groups made up of 41 seniors and a review of the literature on seniors and gambling. The underlying purpose of this work was to explore the extent to which gambling is considered a serious issue for seniors in our province.

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
