Celebrating the Wisdom and Contributions of Older Adults

On behalf of York Regional Council and The Regional Municipality of York, I am pleased to recognize June as Seniors Month – a time to honour the invaluable contributions of older adults who have enriched our communities with their wisdom, experience and unwavering commitment.

Throughout this month, we celebrate the essential roles older adults play in our communities and acknowledge the profound impact they have had on shaping our Region.

Here in York Region, we are committed to supporting our aging population through the York Region Plan to Support Seniors. This plan focuses on promoting wellness, fostering connections and ensuring that seniors can age in place with dignity. By creating age-friendly communities and services, we aim to enhance the quality of life for our diverse senior population.

During Seniors Month, I encourage all residents to connect with the older adults in their lives and communities. Their experiences and perspectives are invaluable and by engaging with them, we strengthen the fabric of our society.

On behalf of Regional Council and the more than 1.26 million residents who call our communities home, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all older adults for their contributions to a strong, caring and safe York Region.
