Ontario Recognizes Accomplishments of 15 Outstanding Seniors
Province Celebrates Senior Achievement Awards Recipients
October 01, 2021
TORONTO – The Ontario government is celebrating 15 outstanding seniors for their exceptional contributions to their communities and to the province.
"Congratulations to this year’s Ontario Senior Achievement Awards recipients,” said the Honourable Elizabeth Dowdeswell, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario. “Seniors across the province have felt most directly the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and it is a delight to be able to celebrate the positive difference seniors make to our communities. Today’s recipients are role models to Ontarians of all ages."
The seniors being recognized are dedicated and compassionate individuals who are helping to improve the lives of older adults through community services and humanitarian activities. This includes fundraising, helping with Meals and Wheels programs, and volunteering in local churches, retirement homes and long-term-care homes. They support and empower seniors by serving as mentors, environmental stewards, agricultural ambassadors, and educational, cultural, and artistic organizers.
“I’m inspired and encouraged by this year’s Senior Achievement Award recipients,” said Raymond Cho, Minister for Seniors and Accessibility.” On behalf of all Ontarians, I would like to express my deepest gratitude for their exceptional service to their communities. You have all made a profound difference in the lives of seniors across our province.”
The recipients are being recognized by the Honourable Elizabeth Dowdeswell, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, and Raymond Cho, Minister for Seniors and Accessibility at a virtual recognition ceremony.

Gifts for Residents Created as Passion Project
Share Gifts for Residents Created as Passion Project on Facebook Share Gifts for Residents Created as Passion Project on Twitter Share Gifts for Residents Created as Passion Project on Linkedin Email Gifts for Residents Created as Passion Project linkCLOSED: This discussion has concluded.My name is Olivia Dennis. I am a grade 8 student at Monck Public School. For one of our school projects this spring we are doing a passion project. For my passion project, I decided I wanted to do something kind for the residents of local retirement homes as I feel this past year has been particularly difficult for them.As part of my project, I learned how to sew and how to do calligraphy. I have made some sewn hearts filled with lavender and a few just filled with stuffing as well as a card to give to some of the residents in Bracebridge. I thought that perhaps they could place the sachet in their drawer so they know that people are thinking of them when they are lonely. I also wrote a personalized card for each resident with a positive quotation.My hope is that it will make them smile.The Pines would like to Thank Olivia for her generous and thoughtful gift.
