Ontario Celebrates Seniors' Month
June is Seniors' Month in Ontario, and the theme for 2004 is "Active in Body, Mind & Spirit."
Seniors are invited to take part in the celebrations by attending or planning a Seniors' Month event, sharing stories or hosting a Seniors' seminar, which were developed to provide seniors with valuable information on healthy aging and healthy lifestyles in communities across the province.
Each week, the Ontario Seniors' Secretariat website will feature stories about seniors who demonstrate Active Living and communicate vitality through Body, Mind & Spirit.
For more information on events, please call 1-888-910-1999 (toll-free in Ontario only; 416-326-7076 in the local Toronto calling area) or visit their website at http://www.gov.on.ca/citizenship/seniors/english/seniorsmonth-04.htm.
