There are so many reasons to #loveyr. Join us as we take a trip down memory lane while looking ahead to the future of our great community.
York Region’s senior population is growing faster than any other age group in the Region. By 2026, the Region anticipates there will be more seniors than children. The Region has committed to supporting the health and well-being of our aging population through the Seniors Strategy.
In recognition of International Day of Older Persons and supporting the Region’s Seniors Strategy, we invite you to join us to view a photo exhibition comprised of pictures taken of 10 residents from the Newmarket Health Centre, coupled with a piece of advice to their younger selves. Join us and explore the people and ideas that have helped make our diverse community so great.
