Celebrating Residents' Council Week- Sept. 15th to 21st, 2025

Residents' Council Week 2025 is celebrated from September 15th to 21st, 2025. It is an annual event in Ontario, organized by the Ontario Association of Residents' Councils (OARC), to celebrate the contributions of residents in long-term care homes.

The week-long celebration highlights the importance of residents' voices and their engagement in the life and operation of their long-term care homes. Events and activities during this time often include:

• Education events to raise awareness about the council's purpose and accomplishments.
• Award ceremonies and contests recognizing resident leaders and achievements.
• Social events like meet-and-greets with residents, team members, and family.
• Artistic and musical celebrations.

If you are looking for ways to participate or have a loved one in long-term care, I can help with specific celebration ideas or provide more information on the awards and contests available during Residents' Council Week.
