Township of Severn recognizes June as Seniors Month

June is Seniors Month in Ontario – a time to acknowledge and recognize the amazing seniors across this province. 

This year’s theme, Ontario Seniors – Let’s Get Moving, highlights the importance of supporting our older adults through programs and initiatives that promote wellness, social engagement and education. 

In support, the Township of Severn has proclaimed June as Seniors Month.

Whereas, June is Seniors Month in Ontario, and a time when we recognize our amazing older Ontarians and the contributions they have made in communities across the province; and

Whereas, seniors are encouraged to get information on programs and services to help seniors stay physically and mentally healthy; and

Whereas, staying connected means finding social, cultural, learning, volunteer and recreational programs to help seniors stay socially engaged; and

Whereas, getting information on vaccines, community supports and protection from financial scams and fraud helps seniors stay safe; 

THEREFORE, I, Mayor Mike Burkett, on behalf of the Township of Severn, do hereby proclaim the month of June, 2026, as Seniors Month, and encourage our community to recognize and celebrate the
accomplishments of our seniors.

This year also marks the 60th anniversary of Ontario funding Seniors Active Living Centre (SALC) programs. Originally known as Elderly Persons Centres, Ontario now has over 400 SALC programs providing activities and services for seniors and older adults in communities across the province.  Please find one near you here.
