Proclamation for Seniors Month (June 2026)

Whereas Seniors Month is an annual province-wide celebration to recognize the considerate contributions that seniors have made to the life and vibrancy of our community; and,

Whereas seniors continue to serve as leaders, mentors, volunteers and important and active members of this community; and,

Whereas their contributions past and present warrant appreciation and recognition and their stories deserve to be told; and,

Whereas the health and well-being of seniors is in the interest of all and further adds to the health and well-being of the community as a whole; and,

Whereas seniors are the fastest growing population segment across Canada and a significant number of Arnprior seniors are leading healthy and active lives; and

Whereas the Town of Arnprior is a recognized Age-Friendly Community, establishing policies and services and investing in programming and infrastructure related to the physical and social environment designed to help seniors “age actively”; and

Whereas the Town of Arnprior is also recognizing June as Recreation and Parks Month providing access to free and low-cost recreation programming and events and celebrating the recreation and parks amenities that our community has to offer; and

Whereas the Town of Arnprior’s Recreation Department and its Older Adults Club (OAC), the Seniors Active Living Centre (SALC), and many community groups throughout the Town provide regular age-friendly programming for local seniors.

Now Therefore, I, Lisa McGee, Mayor of Arnprior, do hereby proclaim June 2026 as Seniors Month in the Town of Arnprior and encourage all citizens to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of our seniors.
