International Day of the Older Persons 2017 is on Sunday!
International Day of the Older Persons is on Sunday October 1st. Every year we celebrate the contribution older people bring to society. The theme for this year is “Stepping into the Future: Tapping the Talents, Contributions and Participation of Older Persons in Society.”
On Sunday (and the rest of the year), remember to acknowledge the wealth of knowledge and skills that New Zealanders aged over 65 bring to our communities.
