The territory’s seniors are coming under the spotlight as Senior Citizens Month is being celebrated.
This year is the 36th anniversary of the Senior’s Movement in the territory which is said to be a testament to the strength, resilience and wisdom of the elders of the community.
According to Premier and Minister of Finance Dr. Natalio Wheatley, occasions like these present the opportunity for them to remind themselves of the profound roles their seniors play in shaping the society.
Minister of Health and Social Development Vincent Wheatley stated that the month’s theme, ‘flip the script on aging’ is both timely and powerful.
In a beautiful choreography piece , our seniors showed they did not come to play.
Several activities would be held during the month, which includes, a Virgin Gorda Fantastic Day, Mix and Mingle, Cultural Soiree, a Sports day, Seniors prom and a Senior’s Ball to end it of the month.
