“June is Seniors Month, and this Saturday is National Long-Term Care Day. Hundreds of thousands of Canadians live in long-term care homes, and they deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. I thank the workers and volunteers who care for them.”
“Mr. Speaker, as we recognize Seniors Month, I rise today to highlight that this Saturday, June 13, marks Canada’s National Long-Term Care Day. This year’s theme, caring across Canada, celebrates the residents, families, staff, volunteers and advocates who make long-term care communities strong from coast to coast to coast. Long-term care is an essential part of our health care system, but above all, it is home to hundreds of thousands of Canadians. Our seniors deserve to live with dignity, respect and a strong sense of community. On behalf of the Canadian Association for Long Term Care, I thank all those whose dedication makes this care possible and invite all members to join me in celebrating the hard work of our essential workers this Seniors Month.”
