Exemplary Canadian Seniors

Older Canadians have a wealth of knowledge, skills and experiences to share. Each day, their contributions make a real difference to Canada's society and economy.

To promote positive images of aging, the Federal-Provincial-Territorial Ministers Responsible for Seniors have worked together to profile Canada's seniors. The following stories demonstrate the valuable achievements and contributions that Canada's seniors make to their communities, their families and society at large.
