Seniors, or the aging population, refers to older adults in our community, often aged 65 and over. This group includes people from diverse backgrounds, cultures, abilities, and life experiences. As people age, they may face unique challenges such as social isolation, health concerns, ageism, income insecurity, and barriers to accessible services. Older adults also bring valuable knowledge, skills, and lived experience that strengthen our community. Recognizing and addressing the systemic barriers that impact seniors is essential to ensuring dignity, inclusion, safety, and full participation in community life.
