And to quote from an e-mail from an elder that I have recently received, she said, “To avoid funding the attendance of seniors at the Canada 55-plus Games could be interpreted as blatant age discrimination.”
On Monday I spoke about the value of recreation and physical activity in our daily life. Research shows that for seniors in particular, physical activity improves and maintains one’s health.
We’re fortunate to have many active seniors and elders in our communities. They’re active because they’re healthy.
