by ahnationtalk on October 28, 202420 Views

The Manitoba government is honouring Manitobans aged 65 and older at the annual Manitoba Healthy Aging Awards to celebrate people who have dedicated their time to improving the health and well-being of older adults as they age in their homes and communities, Health, Seniors and Long-Term Care Minister Uzoma Asagwara announced today.

“Seniors have made this province what it is today: a wonderful place to live,” said Asagwara. “These awards are well-deserved, and I want to congratulate each outstanding individual for their dedication to supporting safe and healthy aging in their communities.”

The minister will present awards in three categories:

  • Older Adult of the Year Award – recognizing older adults who have demonstrated outstanding leadership in advocating for seniors in their communities;
  • Healthy and Active Living Ambassador Award – recognizing older adults helping their peers stay physically active and healthy; and
  • Intergenerational Impact Award – recognizing voluntary contributions of Manitobans that have created innovative solutions to improve the health of older adults in the community through meaningful intergenerational activities.

The ceremony will be held today at the Manitoba Legislative Building to coincide with Seniors and Elders Month, the minister noted.
