Success Stories - Profiles of Exemplary Canadian Seniors

Older Canadians have a wealth of knowledge, skills and experiences to share. Each day, seniors make a positive difference in Canada's society and economy, and in your community.
In an effort to promote Positive Images of Aging, Nova Scotia has partnered with jurisdictions across the country to bring you these profiles of exemplary Canadian seniors.

We are proud to take part in this Federal/Provincial/Territorial Ministers Responsible for Seniors initiative, which demonstrates the valuable achievements and contributions that Canada's seniors make to all Canadian communities.
