June is Seniors Month! 🎉
At the NIA, we believe growing older is something to be celebrated. Seniors Month is a powerful reminder of the resilience, experience, and ongoing contributions of older adults in Canada.
Older adults are at the heart of our communities—serving as caregivers, leaders, volunteers, and knowledge keepers. To truly honour these contributions, we must also advocate for the systems, policies, and supports that enable people to age with dignity, confidence, and respect.
This June, join us in celebrating older Canadians and reaffirming our collective commitment to building an age-inclusive Canada.

This is devastating.
For all these journalists and for all of Atlantic Canada.
My heart is with all my former Guardian/ Herald / Saltwire colleagues.
But I also mourn the loss of accountability, trusted information and local storytelling to come in our region.
Dark times.

I’ve encountered much more aggressive driving + speeding on P.E.I. roads in the last year.
Even in town, many are driving dangerously. Highways are worse
Yet we all end up at the same roundabouts & lights.
Your crazy driving only puts lives at risk, doesn’t get you there faster
