Celebrate Canada’s Seniors… and more fun in June!

03 Jun Celebrate Canada’s Seniors… and more fun in June!

Across Canada, provinces, cities and towns are celebrating Seniors’ Month. We can’t possibly cover all the events held in Canada but here is some local information.  In Brampton, there are still tickets available for Springfest. Contact Sharon Bonello at 905-874-2305 for further info.

Plus, June 5th is Canadian Forces Day.   For all those that served, we say “thank you” from the bottom of our hearts.  We thank you for your sacrifice and contribution – you make this country great and we are proud of you.   Here’s some information on events happening at Canadian Forces Base Borden if you are interested. http://www.borden.forces.gc.ca/998/25-eng.asp
