NATIONAL SENIORS DAY
Every year on October 1, Canadians pay tribute to all the seniors who have helped shape our country and who continue to enrich our lives every day.
Seniors have made—and continue to make—profound contributions to Canada: at home, in our communities, and in the workforce. They represent a significant and growing segment of our population.
Each of us has known a senior who has made a deep impact on our lives. They are our mentors, teachers, grandparents, and loved ones. They are volunteers and role models. They have contributed generously to building our families, communities, workplaces, and country.
It is an opportunity for Canadians:
to recognize the important role seniors play in our society. It is also an excellent way to connect with the community, build relationships, and raise awareness about issues that matter to seniors.
By fighting ageism, we are building a culture of respect that benefits all generations.
