The Markham Seniors Welfare Association was inaugurated in 2012.
Our aims and objectives are :
- To encourage seniors to contribute their skills, experience and wisdom, in support of social well-being in the Tamil Community in particular and others in general in the Markham area and suburbs.
- To promote the ongoing involvement of seniors with other similar organizations and to adapt to the Canadian way of life.
- To assess the common social and health problems of the seniors and explore ways of meeting these needs by raising awareness about the abuse and neglect of older adults.
- To encourage the engagement of youth with senior activities and to promote arts and culture.
- To promote a Seniors for Seniors Project that would reduce loneliness, social and spiritual isolation thereby assisting seniors living alone, in their own homes and in elder care centres; and, to provide information on seniors programs and services of The Governments of Ontario and Canada.
