Seniors Month has been celebrated in the month of June since 1984, and this year marks 40 years celebrating Ontario’s outstanding seniors and recognizing the positive impact they have made in our lives. (Raymond Cho, Ontario Minister for Seniors and Accessibility)
This year’s Seniors Month is another great opportunity for celebrating our seniors. To this end, The Seniors Active Living Centre (SALC) Program is a program that promotes wellness, social interaction, education, and support services with the goal of keeping seniors healthy and independent through approximately 316 programs across Ontario.
Also, the new government website at Ontario.ca/seniors and the Guide to Programs and Services for Seniors offer a wealth of information for seniors.
Our Old Salts Seniors Canoe Club offers the opportunity to be active and to participate in outdoor recreational activities as well as the chance to enjoy the company of others with the same interests. The club is affiliated with the City of Waterloo and is promoted in the Active Waterloo Program Guide waterloo.ca/activewaterloo which offers a wealth of programming activities and can also be sent directly to your inbox at waterloo.ca/subscribe.
Besides canoeing, we offer other club activities and social events for fun and companionship. Two of those “not to be missed” activities this Seniors Month are the June 11: Fun Day at Paradise Lake and June 25: Pat’s Popular Potluck!
WE’D LOVE TO SEE YOU THERE!
