We want to stimulate general interest in and knowledge of ag- ing, the elderly, and ail existing programs for senior citizens in Ontario,." Although the promotion of a province-wide Senior Citizens' Week is new, the idea of such a week is not. Many groups of sen- ior citizens' clubs, across Ontario have been endorsing the week be- ginning with the third S»nday in June each year as Senior Citizens' Week. Mr. Alex Carruthers MPP for Durham, has in previous years intreduccd in the Ontario Legisiature a bill ta preclaim such a week, and the idea was endorsed by members of ail polit- ical parties in the legisiature. Mr. Wells has set up an advisory committee for Ontario Senior Cit- izens' Week. It will be chaired by Mr. Carrtert and wiil include representatives of senior citizens' associations. "The Cities cf Kit- chener, London and North Bay, bave 'already pianned Senior Cit- izens' Week for their communit- les," Mr. Wells noted. The Ontaria Dcpartment'cf So- cial and Family Services will pro- mate active participation 'of in- dependent groups or associations of retired persans; residents' cou neils fromn homes for the aged, the ei.derly in housing projeets for senior ci tizens or nursing homes; members of elclerly per- sens' centres, public health un- 1hq, local social service and plan- ning councils, service clubs, pub- lic libraries, speciaiists in aduit educal ion; recreatien centres wor- king with the eiderly; churches cf ail faiths and ail other interested organizatiens throughout thePro- vifice.
