NEWS RELEASE
TOWN OF COLLINGWOOD
*************************
June is Seniors Month in Ontario, a time to recognize older adults in our community and the significant contributions they have made and continue to make.

In keeping with the 2022 theme for Seniors Month — Stay Active, Connected and Safe — the Collingwood Public Library Seniors Age-Friendly Advisory Committee has launched a quarterly age-friendly newsletter.

“We learned from our Age-Friendly Community survey that older residents in the community were looking for different forms of communication to stay informed about what was going on in Collingwood,” said Lori Crossan, co-ordinator, adult and senior programs.

With the help of Age-Friendly Committee volunteers the newsletter will capture local social, cultural, learning, and recreational programs and events taking place each season. The newsletter will be released in different formats including a digital version available on the Collingwood Public library website at www.collingwoodpubliclibrary.ca and a print version that will be distributed across town facilities and shared with community organizations.

The Collingwood Public Library Age-Friendly Committee is a volunteer group that meets quarterly with the aim of providing insight and advice about library services and programs and to continue to build an age-friendly Collingwood.
