Celebrating Seniors Month: honouring the work of Haldimand County’s Seniors Advisory Committee

June is Seniors Month in Ontario — a time to recognize the invaluable contributions of older adults in our communities. This year’s theme, “Fit, Active and Healthy Seniors,” highlights the importance of wellness, social connection, and lifelong engagement.

In Haldimand County, we’re proud to celebrate the outstanding work of the Seniors Advisory Committee (SAC). Appointed by Council, this volunteer group provides essential input on policies and initiatives that impact older adults.

At the June 17, 2025, Council in Committee meeting, Council endorsed SAC’s recommendation to develop an Age-Friendly Community Action Plan. Joining over 100 municipalities dedicated to establishing age-friendly communities, this initiative reflects Haldimand’s commitment to creating inclusive, supportive environments for people of all ages. The recommendation was formally approved at the June 23 Council meeting.

SAC members also contribute their time and expertise across Haldimand County — from local non-profits to advisory committees and regional health networks — demonstrating true community leadership. We thank the SAC for their dedication and celebrate their role in making Haldimand County a more age-friendly place to live, work, and thrive.
