Seniors Week
WA Seniors Week is back for 2025! Running from 9 - 16 November this year, Seniors Week aims to recognise the important role that older people play in our community. Seniors Week is about highlighting the contributions of older people and celebrating their active participation in community life.
This year, the Shire has partnered with organisations and community groups to host a range of free and meaningful activities that will run from 10 - 14 November. These activities aim to give seniors an opportunity to connect with each other, promote healthy wellbeing, and raise awareness about the local services SJ has to offer.
