History
In 1978, the Edmonton Northgate Lions Club constructed a
Recreation Centre on City land for senior citizens and the community. The
Community Services Department maintains the Centre in collaboration with the
North Edmonton Seniors Association.
The North Edmonton Seniors Association (NESA), originally formed
as the Northgate Senior Citizens Association (NSCA), is an independent,
non-profit society formed in 1978 to provide “recreational, social, educational
and health-related programs and services for seniors (age 55+ years).” The NESA
is the largest senior’s organization in Edmonton, responsible for providing
Edmonton’s most comprehensive older adult recreational and social program. The
NESA’s success speaks for itself:
