June 01, 2023
June 1st is INTERGENERATIONAL DAY CANADA. It is a day to reflect upon the significant role intentional and respectful intergenerational relationships play in our daily lives, and to reach out to another generation in friendship.
(See the proclamation signed by Mayor Kim Chamberlain here)
Since 2010, 12 provinces and territories and over 100 Canadian cities have officially recognized this day, with New Brunswick, Ontario and Manitoba governments legislating the day in perpetuity.
Intergenerational relationships improve the health of both generations by defeating isolation and loneliness.
On June 1st, take a step to make your community ALL-Age-Friendly.
