October 1st is National Seniors Day!

United Way Waterloo Region is committed to honouring the wisdom and lifelong contributions of seniors in our communities.

We support programs that help older adults stay connected, active, and included as they age.

Let's celebrate the generation that helped build the foundations we stand on today.

Yesterday, community members came together to participate in the Remember Me Walk in recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

The walk was a time to remember and honour the children who never returned home, survivors of residential schools, their families, and Indigenous communities who have been impacted by the residential school system.

It was a meaningful day to listen, learn, and reflect, while also recognizing that truth and reconciliation is an ongoing commitment that extends beyond September 30.

Thank you to The Healing of The Seven Generations for bringing the community together, and to everyone who participated in today’s walk!

Today, we pause.

On the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honour the survivors of residential schools, remember the children who never came home, and stand with Indigenous peoples, families, and communities across Canada.

As a national charity rooted in local communities, United Way knows that reconciliation isn’t a single gesture; it’s an ongoing commitment to listening, unlearning, and taking action.

We are committed to strengthening our relationships with Indigenous communities and doing the work that real reconciliation requires.

Today, we remember. We act.

A recent survey from United Way Centraide Canada, in partnership with Leger, found that nearly half of Canadians have just one month of financial cushion.

A rent increase. A missed paycheque. A grocery bill that keeps climbing. It doesn’t take much to tip a household over the edge.

The cost of living shouldn’t cost you everything.

This fall, help a neighbour through a difficult moment and support local people facing rising costs. Donate today: give.unitedway.ca/donate/WCAMBR
