The best way to support seniors is to bring them together to get active and connected.

My ministry works with the OACAO, the Older Adult Centres’ Association of Ontario, to put together seniors’ active living fairs. These fairs help seniors find resources, connect to local organizations and to each other. Coming up in October, there will be seniors’ fairs from Perth to Toronto, Thunder Bay, Windsor, Kenora and more. Events like this are an excellent way to spread awareness about all the programs and services available.

I encourage all members to host events for seniors in their own communities.
