Assented to 2010-11-18

An Act to establish National Seniors Day

This enactment designates October 1 in each year as National Seniors Day.

Whereas Parliament wishes to acknowledge the contribution of seniors to Canadian society and to the Canadian economy;

Whereas seniors contribute in many ways, including by sharing their experiences, expertise and knowledge with other generations;

Whereas the contribution of seniors is invaluable and ongoing;

And whereas October 1 is recognized as the International Day of Older Persons;

Now, therefore, Her Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate and House of Commons of Canada, enacts as follows:

2. Throughout Canada, in each year, October 1 is to be known as National Seniors Day.

3. For greater certainty, National Seniors Day is not a holiday or a non-juridical day.
