Queensland Seniors Week 2018 will be celebrated from 18-26 August and is an opportunity for Queenslanders of all ages to join together and celebrate the valuable contributions of older people.

Coordinated by the Council on the Ageing (COTA) Queensland, Seniors Week improves community attitudes towards older people and ageing and encourages community participation by older people, including those from Indigenous and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

The 12^th Annual Seniors Leisure and Lifestyle Expo will be held at the Warwick Senior Citizens Hall on Thursday, 23 August and will feature more than 50 information stalls dedicated to senior’s lifestyle, leisure and wellbeing.

Council has partnered with Warwick Senior Citizens Association to deliver the expo to the community.

The Granite Belt Seniors Expo will be held at the Stanthorpe Civic Centre from 10am until 2pm, Wednesday, 22 August. For more information about the Granite Belt Seniors Expo contact Leigh Corbett on 4681 3777 or email admin@communityds.org.au
