June is Seniors’ Month. Take the time to celebrate how important seniors in Centre Wellington are to the community. June 2018 marks the 34th annual Seniors’ Month with Ontario’s theme “Now’s the time to start something new,” highlighting that age does not prevent any of us from leading fulfilling lives.
“Our seniors are key contributors in our community and we continue to learn daily from them, through their experiences and stories” said Kathryn Morgan, supervisor of senior services at Victoria Park Seniors Centre in Fergus.
