September brings a season of change, changing colors in the foliage, cooler temperatures and the emergence of new opportunities to explore with renewed energies from the summer break. We invite you to embrace this change of seasons with us by sharing insights, resources, and stories that continue to celebrate community partnerships and resilience as together we work to help safeguard and support older adults.
This month we recognize significant milestones and important dates that bring focus to issues affecting the lives of older adults: National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, National Grandparents’ Day, World Alzheimer’s Day, and the upcoming National Seniors Day on October 1st, a day dedicated to honoring the contributions seniors continue to make to the wellbeing of society and a reminder to Advocate for their human rights.
Within this e-Newsletter, you will find a number of engaging articles, new resources and an overview of community events, which showcased that lifted older adults’ voices and perspectives, to garner a better understanding of issues impacting our lives and to foster a more inclusive society.
We encourage you to explore these resources, learn more about our events, and share your thoughts with us as together, we continue to build a supportive and connected community.
