Helping Seniors Stay Safe and
Stay in Touch
June 2020 was Seniors Month in Ontario and as the month closes Heritage Mississauga invites you to share a smile with our seniors. The theme of Seniors Month this year is "Stay Safe, Stay in Touch" and we would like to support Mississauga and our seniors to stay in touch with some positive messages from friends, family and the community.
During the COVID pandemic our seniors have been greatly impacted with many in isolation unable to receive visitors. This can be a trying time for people and their families and we would like to bring some joy to seniors throughout Mississauga and we need your help.
Heritage Mississauga will be gathering video tributes of people sending well wishes and greetings to our seniors. Video tributes can include a general "Hello" to seniors or can have a personal message to an individual or tell a great story you have about a senior in your life.
Perhaps you have a senior that you would like to send a message of encouragement to or you may be a senior who would like to send a message to friends or family that you have not been able to visit. Grandchildren are greatly encouraged to send personalized video greetings to their grandparents (with their parents/guardians permission of course).
Heritage Mississauga will gather the video tributes, compile them and send out the final montage video with the greetings submitted as well as post the montage on our social media platforms. The montage may even be included in a future exhibit as we look back on the effects and experiences with the COVID pandemic in Mississauga.
Please join us as we share a smile with our wonderful senior communities in
Mississauga.
The deadline to submit your montage is July 15, 2020.
#ApartTogether we are staying safe, staying in touch and celebrating our seniors!
