through the Homes for the Aged Branch of the Ministry of Com munity and Social Services As in previous years the major objective is to focus attention on the threequarters of a million sen lor citizens who have contributed to the development of Ontario The week is designed to promote greater public awareness of the vast resource of skills and exper ience the elderly have to offer and to encourage senior citizens them selves to remain actively involved in their communities This year Senior Citizens Week has a second objective A province wide pre retirement campaign is being introduced
