HAPPY ANNIVERSARY CLSA
IN 2016 WE ARE 50!
In 2016, we at Central Lions Seniors Association celebrate our 50th anniversary. CLSA was
originally known as the Senior Citizens Association and was the first association of its kind in
Edmonton. Our name evolved to the Central Lions Seniors Citizens Association in 1979 as
other seniors groups emerged, and was changed again to our current name - the Central Lions
Seniors Association (CLSA) - in 1993. CLSA is an independent non-profit society and we are
proud to call the Central Lions Seniors Recreation Centre “home”.
Our Centre began as a dream of the Edmonton Host Lions Club who – as far back as the early
1930’s - it was envisioned a facility to provide recreational opportunities for Edmonton seniors.
In partnership with the City of Edmonton, who provided the land for the centre, the Host Lions
realized their dream in 1966 making Central Lions Seniors Recreation Centre the first of its kind
on the continent.
Between 1966 and 2008, our Centre grew from a small building to one of the largest Senior
Centres in North America featuring a fitness and wellness facility, weight room, fitness studio
and change rooms, sports gymnasium, multiple and specialized classrooms, an auditorium,
atrium, cafeteria and meeting areas.
Since 1966 the City of Edmonton has owned and managed the facility while CLSA has provided
the on-site seniors’ experiences. Together our CLSA-City of Edmonton partnership continues
the original dream of the Host Lions Club of improving and enhancing the well-being of
Edmonton seniors through programs, clubs and activities that provide recreational, social and
educational opportunities.
Don’t miss our fund raising gala dinner and dance on December 2!

CARBON CAPTURE & STORAGE: HOW IT WORKS
Presenter: Bill Gunter, Geologist - BSc, MSc, PhD (Geochemistry)
Alberta's Petroleum Resources and carbon capture and storage is a serendipitous relationship.
The Alberta Sedimentary Basin (ASB) is a huge resource of water, minerals and fossil fuels.
Its thick layers of sedimentary rocks are the host of a dynamic and mammoth 'plumbing'
system (100s of kilometers long and thick). Its fluids (water, oil and gas) have been exploited
on an intensive industrial scale since the 1940s. The production of this oil and gas offers an
opportunity to store waste CO2 emissions in depleted oil & gas reservoirs and saline aquifers.
But is it safe? Are there ramifications? Learn from a geologist how this carbon capture and
storage could provide a bridge solution for reducing emissions into the atmosphere. Bring
your questions.

Presenter: David Goa, Director - The Chester Ronning Centre, U of A Augustana Campus
In the 1960s many argued that we were witnessing the end of religion. Secularist theory

mistaken. The 21st century is requiring that we re-evaluate our society in light of the
increasing religious and ideological pluralism that is reshaping Canada. What are the gifts of
a secular society? Should religious and ideological perspectives be accommodated and, if so,
how and who decides on the boundaries and limits of public religion? Join the discussion.
