June is Seniors’ Month in Ontario. This is a time for seniors to celebrate their lives and the many ways they continue to make our province and community a better place to live. This year’s theme is The Art of Living, in celebration how seniors in Ontario have created their own unique approach to living.
Older adults practice The Art of Living every day. They have worked hard and continue to contribute to the prosperity we all enjoy today. Celebrating Seniors Month has become our collective way of giving something back to older adults and gives us the opportunity to share how our municipality is working to keep our community one of the best places to live and grow older. “Seniors are such an important part of our community” said Mayor Bonnette, “through their volunteer work, their leadership in the community, and their inspiration to our young people.”
We are encouraging Halton Hills older adults to attend our Seniors month events at either one of the Halton Hills Seniors Centre locations or at either branch of the Halton Hills libraries. Activities in Georgetown are planned for Thursday June 13 and 14th and in Acton on Tuesday June 25 and 26th for more info please pick up a newsletter or visit our website www.haltonhills.ca/seniors.
During the month we will also be recognizing World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. Show the world you care about ending elder abuse and neglect by wearing something purple on Thursday June 13th. Everyone is welcome to the Seniors Centres for tea and coffee and an awareness gathering beginning at 10 a.m.
