Celebrating a Life of Continued Impact: River Ridge Resident Honored Among Southeast Alberta’s Top 7 Over 70
October 23, 2026 | By Park Place Seniors Living |
At Park Place Seniors Living, we believe that purpose, contribution, and community have no age limit. This spirit was celebrated at the 2026 Top 7 Over 70 Gala in Medicine Hat, recognizing seven remarkable older adults who continue to make a meaningful impact in their communities.
We are especially proud to celebrate David Carter, a resident of River Ridge Seniors Village, who was named one of Southeast Alberta’s 2026 Top 7 Over 70 recipients.

Presented by the Community Foundation of Southeastern Alberta, Top 7 Over 70 celebrates individuals over the age of 70 who continue to pursue new achievements and contribute their experience, talents, and leadership to their communities. Top 7 Over 70™ – Community Foundation of Southeastern Alberta
David has a distinguished history of public service, writing, and community involvement. A former Member of the Legislative Assembly and Speaker of the Alberta Legislative Assembly, he has continued writing, mentoring, and sharing his knowledge well into his later years.

River Ridge Seniors Village was proud to support this year’s Top 7 Over 70 Gala as a sponsor, and even prouder to celebrate one of its own residents among the honorees.
David’s recognition is a wonderful reminder that experience, purpose, and the opportunity to make a difference continue throughout every stage of life.
Congratulations to David Carter on this well-deserved recognition, and to all of the 2026 Top 7 Over 70 recipients.
