50 for 50 - OACAO's 50th Anniversary Special Award

Award Overview:

The OACAO is celebrating our 50th Anniversary in 2023 and we can't think of a better way of celebrating this special milestone than by honouring some exceptional staff and volunteers who are involved in Seniors Active Living Centres (SALCs), Older Adult Centres and Seniors Clubs across the province, or who have made significant contributions to the OACAO.

The OACAO Board of Directors have created this one-time OACAO Special Award '50 for 50' – to honour and celebrate 50 amazing, incredible, individuals this year.

This is an opportunity to recognize an amazing volunteer or board member who has been influential in the shaping and operation of your centre for many years; or a staff member who has dedicated a significant portion of their working life to the betterment of your centre and the people you serve.

The purpose of this award is to recognize that exceptional effort and contribution to the field (SALCs), Older Adult Centres and Seniors Clubs across the province, and/or for exceptional support of the Older Adult Centres' Association of Ontario (OACAO).

The 50 individuals will be honoured as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations at the 2023 OACAO Conference on Monday October 23, 2023.
