National Seniors Day, celebrated on October 1 in Canada, is a significant day dedicated to recognizing the contributions and achievements of older adults. It offers Canadians the opportunity to express gratitude for the wisdom, experience, and sacrifices that seniors have made in building and shaping communities across the country.
In Montreal West, this recognition is even more meaningful, as the town is committed as a Municipalité amie des aînés (MADA), emphasizing its dedication to the well-being and inclusion of older adults.
By honoring seniors on National Seniors Day, we emphasize the value of intergenerational connections, promote respect and inclusion, and encourage discussions about aging with dignity and respect.
