Travel into new millennium Millennium prog, honours seniors In the year 2000 there will be one in almost every community across the province - a centenarian, someone whose life spans the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. These are people who have seen an extraordinary amount of change in their lifetime - from the Model T to the Apollo spaceships, the birth of television to the development of the Internet. Now the provincial government wants to honour the most senior citizens for the work they’ve done to make Ontario one of the best places to live, work and raise a family. A special initiative has been established for Ontario residents who will turn more than 100 years old in the year 2000. It’s part of Ontario 2000, the province’s commemorate The program inclusive, initiatives to involve everyone, of every age, in creating a meaningful legacy of this once-in-a-lifetime event.

Members of the Ontario 2000 staff plan to identify as many of them as possible, as soon as possible, through a list of more than 4,000 seniors’ health-care and social organizations. These organizations will be sent copies of the nomination forms, including background information. Family members, friends and care providers are invited to nominate these special seniors, who will receive a provincial certificate treatment. Her husband Senator Davey was uninjured in the collision. The other driver, Linda Kent, 40, from Langton driving an 1993 Oldsmobile was not able to get stopped in time to avoid the collision.

Gabriele Del Bianco, president of Innerfit Counselling and Consulting, has put together a special opportunity for the millennium year that incorporates adventure, fun, new beginnings, self actualization, and reflection. May 1-14, 2000 an incredible opportunity will be happening that is the culmination of a desire to raise the worth of people but also inspire people through unique experiences, he said. “A reactivation of our dreams, hopes, and spirits needs to be a regular, ongoing, conscious, joyful effort. We need to work as hard daily at creating “new life” in ourselves as we do at achieving the material needs we have.” Living consciously, he said, means being unafraid to seek the learning, the skills, and the experiences that allow people to set better goals, be more decisive and commit energy to the values they set for them. When our behaviour supports our values much of life’s conflict begins to disappear and we start to release ourselves from the prison of the urgent and get back to what is important. Self re-creation and renewal should be part of life’s adventure.” On May 1, 2000 a group of 40 people will be leaving for Italy to of recognition. Presentation of the Three Century Club certificates will take place across the province throughout the millennial year. Joining Johns at the Three Century Club launch was Baycrest resident Minn Sandler. Born Dec. 29, 1895, Mrs. Sandler had two children of her own, and now has four grandchildren, 10 great­ grandchildren and six great-great- grandchildren. She ran her own successful antique store in Toronto. She attributes her longevity to a sense of humour - and good genes. She’s the eldest of five siblings, all of whom lived until at least the age of 80. Her surviving sister is 96. “I’m grateful to have my family around me,” she said. “It’s wonderful. I have a lot to be thankful for and I am, believe me.” Ontario has many people like Mrs. Sandler, Minister Johns said. “Seniors have built this province through hard work and dedication. We’re proud to honour them through the Three Century Club and in our plans to mark the new millennium.” garages.
