Ontario Celebrates Seniors Month - June 1st, 2023 - Elder Abuse Prevention Ontario

Celebrating seniors in Ontario

June is Seniors Month in Ontario. The 2023 theme is “Working for Seniors.”

It’s a time to recognize the hard work seniors have done all their lives to make Ontario into the great place it is today.

We are working for seniors by:

recognizing and celebrating their accomplishments and milestones.
funding Seniors Active Living Centre programs that promote wellness, social connections and education in communities across the province.
making it easier to find programs and services available for seniors in Ontario, including tax credits, health, caregiving, housing, transportation and staying safe.

Download printable and digital resources to help you promote Seniors Month.
