TORONTO, Aug. 8, 2011 /Canada NewsWire/ - The United Senior Citizens of Ontario Inc., (U.S.C.O.) is holding its 53rd annual convention at the Best Western Hotel, 700 Lakeshore Dr. North Bay, Ontario on August 15, 16, and 17, 2011 with approximately 200 delegates in attendance.
Representing some 300,000 seniors across the province, the U.S.C.O. is dedicated to promoting the quality of life of older adults through educating, counselling and advising seniors, service providers, and policy makers about issues of importance to seniors.
The delegates discuss resolutions that have been submitted by many of our 900 clubs.
These resolutions will be debated and voted on. Those passed will be forwarded in a brief to the various government ministries involved.
There will be speakers representing provincial and local government as well as presentations on other timely topics of interest to seniors.
We look forward to a very exciting and challenging convention as we debate issues such as health, pension, transportation, etc.
