York Region Celebrates Older Adults

On behalf of York Regional Council and The Regional Municipality of York, I am pleased to recognize June as Seniors Month.

Throughout Seniors Month, we recognize and celebrate the essential contributions of older adults and the immense impact they’ve had on our communities and younger generations. At the same time, we continue to do our part to promote wellness, connections and unity, and help support seniors age in place with dignity.

Regional Council remains committed to supporting the health and well-being of our aging population through the York Region Plan to Support Seniors, which balances the needs of all generations while ensuring our diverse senior population remains healthy, active and connected through age-friendly communities and services.  

During Seniors Month, all residents are encouraged to reach out and connect with the older adults who have shaped our communities and made a meaningful difference in our personal, professional and community life.

On behalf of Regional Council and more than 1.25 million residents who call our communities home, I wish all older adults a happy Seniors Month and thank you for your contributions towards a strong, caring, safe York Region.
