The General Assembly of the United Nations designated October 1 as the International Day of Older Persons.

By designating a special day in recognition of seniors, the UN is drawing attention to the important contribution of seniors and to changing demographics: the greying of the population, or the "age of aging."

Unifor affirms a commitment to older persons and the essential contributions they make to our communities.
