What If You Could Laugh Every
Day?
How Laughter Boosts Senior
Health
|
|
Laughter is all about finding joy
in everyday moments! It requires a
little intentionality, but the
effort is worthwhile. Laughter is a
way to surround yourself with
positivity and entertainment. When
you laugh, you’ll feel lighter, more
hopeful, and deeply connected to
those around you. The benefits of
laughter extend beyond the
emotional, improving overall health
and well-being.
Visit our library for more
information on how laughter can
boost seniors' health and
well-being.

On March 8th, we celebrated
International Women’s Day and
recognized achievements of women
across the world, both past and
present. This day was a reminder to
continue supporting equality,
opportunity, and progress for women
everywhere. This year, the focus of
IWD was #AccelerateAction!
‘Accelerate Action’ calls for more
momentum and urgency when it comes to
addressing the systemic challenges
that women face in their professional
and personal lives. We are proud
to honour the strength and impact
of women in shaping a better future!
