Centennial
Report

Report
How many Canadians, dp you
think, are at least 100 years
old?
I asked a colleague at my of
fice the other- day and he took
a guess at 55, Well he was
far off the mark. According to
the latest figures of the Dom
inion Bureau of Statistics there
are 684 centenarians ih Canada.
I must confess that the first
time I, heard the DBS figure
mentioned I was a little sur
prised too. One of the fellows in
the information 'branch of the
Centennial Commission who is
■a foamer weekly newspaper
editor ipade a close guess. He
by JOHN W. FISHER.
CENTENNIAL COMMISSIONER
No. 22
said, “There were two centen
arians, I x'emember, in the town
Where I published' my paper so
I thought there ought to b£ one
for every town and based the
figure on the number of week
ly newspapers in, Canada.”
The Dominion ^Bureau of Sta
tistics figures are cheeked
every month' and we ait the.
Commission are interested in
these figures because next year,
centenarians an Canada are go
ing to be honored by a special
Centennial
scroll.
The idea of honoring Cana
dians as old as Confederation in
of Confederation
1967 Is not a new one (hat -was'
originated by the Centennial
Commission, It was- proposed by
a man living; in Welland, Ont
ario,. named Walter F. Gower
■Who, at the age of 84, is not too
far from the century mai'k
himself. .. ,
Mr, Gower, as a matter of
fact, *has been sending out:
scrolls to centenarians for some
time. He is a rpiember of the
Senior Citizen Club of Port
Colborne and for some years
now he has been conducting
his own little project for cen
tenarians. The community of
Welland also endorsed Ins pro
ject.
„ Two years ago Mr. Gower
Started writing to officials at
Ottawa about h!is idea of giv
ing special honor to Canadians,
at least 100 years old during
the celebration of the lQOth
anniversary of Confederation,
The Centennial Commiisson has
adopted Mr, Gower’s suggestoh
and artists have been busy
making rough designs for a
special scroll to be presented
next year. '
There will be several hund
red Canadians born in 1867, or
before, who will be extra spec
ial people When we conduct our
great celebrations next year.
