HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Times Advocate, 2006-04-26, Page 2524 Exeter Times—Advocate Wednesday, April 26, 2006 Announcements/Community June is Seniors month in Ontario For more than 20 years, Ontarians have been mark- ing June as Seniors' Month. This annual celebration is a way for communities to acknowledge and honour the contributions of seniors across the province. This year's theme is Active Living: Healthy Living. For the first time, June 15, 2006 will mark World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD). Lead by the International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (INPEA), countries around the globe are being asked to support and participate in World Elder Abuse Awareness Day to raise awareness of this important issue. Seniors' month events include award ceremonies, recognition events, socials and seniors' information fairs. People can access information - free - of - charge - on everything from advance care planning and safe medications use to preventing elder abuse and securing a guide the Ontario Seniors Secretariat produces on all programs and services available for seniors in Ontario. We are encourag- ing Ontarians across the province to join in the celebrations taking place hi their local community to thank older adults who have worked hard and continue to contribute to the prosperity that we all enjoy today. Seniors account for approximately 13 per cent of Ontario's current population. This number is expect- ed to climb as baby boomers get set to retire in five short years. And Ontario is one of the best places in the world to grow old. For media planning special features for seniors, we would be pleased to supply you with information, including Seniors' Month promotional materials, the Senior's Guide, and high res. images as required.
