Welcome to the Edmonton Lifelong Learners Association (ELLA.)

We are a dynamic volunteer-run, not-for-profit organization which was founded in 2001 to provide lifelong learning to adults 50+. We invite you to join us!

ELLA partners with the University of Alberta, Faculty of Extension, to offer courses on the U of A campus.

 

 

The 2018 Spring Session is over for the year, and we anticipate a new learning adventure and opportunity to connect with old friends and make new ones in the spring of 2019!
