Council here has officially declared June Seniors Month in the township.
At the May 22 meeting, council passed a resolution recognizing the designation, which is observed province-wide.
Council’s proclamation notes seniors:
– have contributed and continue to contribute immensely to the life and vibrancy of the local community;
– continue to serve as leaders, mentors, volunteers and important and active community members;
– have made contributions which warrant appreciation and recognition; and
– pass on knowledge and experience to others, which benefits everyone.
A report from Seniors Centre For Excellence coordinator Helen Edward points out the theme of Seniors Month 2018 is “Now’s the time to start something new.”
Edwards notes the theme highlights how aging does not prevent anyone from leading a fulfilling life.
“Seniors continue to contribute (to) our community and we can all benefit from their wisdom, friendship and experience,” she stated in the report.
