Launch of Seniors Week 2014

An all generations event to mark Seniors Week 2014 was launched today.

With the theme 'It's on for Young and Old – A Day on the Green' the all ages event was organised by COTA Tasmania to highlight Seniors week later this month.

Generations of families were invited to participate in the planned range of activities and entertainment. This event marked the launch of Senior's Week which will be held between October 13-19.

The Seniors Week theme 'Discover. Imagine. Together' captures the essence of what Seniors Week is all about.

Seniors Week is an annual event for promoting healthy ageing through physical, mental, social and spiritual wellbeing.

There will be more than 380 events occurring across Tasmania during Seniors Week, providing opportunities to be creative and find new hobbies, increase knowledge and pass on skills, have fun and make new friends.

The Liberal Government funds COTA Tasmania to coordinate Seniors Week and acknowledges the commitment COTA makes to ensuring Seniors Week is as varied, accessible and enjoyable as possible for all.

The Seniors Week Program is available from a range of outlets across the State including Service Tasmania shops, LINCs, local government offices and also on COTA Tasmania's website at www.cotatas.org.au.

The Liberal Government is proud to support Tasmanian's senior citizens.
