BY JACK RiDDELL,IVC,P',P
The: theme , of this year's '
Senior . Citizens' „Week -
'Celebrate Living' - conveys
an importantmessage for
Ontarians of all ages. While
Senior Citizens' Week gives
us. an opportunity to `honour
our citizens who' are 6$ years
of age or older; it should: also
cause •each ' of us to re
consider our attitudes about
older people. We should
remember that many. of our
greatest leaders and citizens
have .contributed to their
communities well beyond
their 65th year; Winston;
Churchill, Pablo Picasso, and
Dr. Robert McClure, Nellie
McClung and A.Y. Jackson.
If Senior Citizens' Week
can focus on the vitality of
older people, perhaps itwill
help our leaders to recognize.
that it's time toabandon' the
laws'that force retirement at
age 65. While I suspect that
most people look forward to
retirement, I know -that there
are many .who are very
willing and able to contribute
their working skills and ex-,
`perience beyond. • the age of
65. .It is the . •freedom to
choose either course that is
important to the vitality of
Ontario's senior population -
a freedom which, 1 believe,
should be enshrined in our •
Human Rights Code. •
So during this week, let's
'Celebrate Living' and let's
resolve to ensure that every •
senior in Ontario Can
continue to celebrate afti
contribute. to our province as
-;long as he or she chooses.
