Holiday Traditions Memory Café
In Partnership with the University of Alberta– Powered by Voiced Memories
Tuesday, December 2, 2025
1:30 p.m. to 2:45 p.m.
Café (Westend Seniors Activity Centre)
Free
We are hoping to recruit 7–10 seniors per session. If the first session fills quickly, we will open an additional session on December 9 and shift additional participants to it.
COME JOIN US!
- Happy Holidays! Celebrate the season with stories, photos, and connections.
- Join us for a relaxed 60–75 minute café.
- This heartwarming, story-sharing event blends festive fun with meaningful connection. Seniors are invited to take part in a guided 60–75 minute reminiscence session using photos, voice prompts, and digital storytelling.
- Christmas cookies and warm connection included.
What to Expect
- Participants are asked to bring along a favourite holiday photo — perhaps a family Christmas tree (remember tinsel?), a festive dinner at Grandma’s, or a cozy Christmas Eve with children hanging stockings.
- Together, we’ll explore a beautiful digital gallery with gentle voiced prompts that spark memories and conversation.
