It is also a moment for reflection and to recognize the ongoing impacts of colonization and to reflect on how we can all contribute to reconciliation.

June is Seniors Month! 🎉

At the NIA, we believe growing older is something to be celebrated. Seniors Month is a powerful reminder of the resilience, experience and ongoing contributions of older adults in Canada.

Older adults are at the heart of our communities—serving as caregivers, leaders, volunteers and knowledge keepers. To truly honour these contributions, we must also advocate for the systems, policies and supports that enable people to age with dignity, confidence and respect.

This June, join us in celebrating older Canadians and reaffirming our commitment to creating communities, workplaces and services that support people to thrive at every stage of life.
