🌎💙 International Day of Older Persons — October 1, 2026 💙

Today, we celebrate and honour older persons in our communities, the people whose lives, stories, wisdom, and experiences have helped shape the world we live in today.

Today is also a reminder that age-friendly communities are better communities for everyone. We must continue to advocate for accessible health care, affordable housing, social connection, safety, financial security, and quality services that allow people to live and age with dignity.

To every older person: your voice matters. Your story matters. You matter. ❤️

Proud to have honoured Kathy and others!
