October 1 is a day set aside by the United Nations to celebrate the International Day of Older Persons.
In Canada the day is also referred to as National Seniors Day.
CHF BC and our Aging-in-Place Committee host the Century of Co-operation Awards ceremonies on—or around—Octobers 1 each year. It is one way that we acknowledge and celebrate all the ways older adults enrich our lives and our co-op communities.
