Our stories, their stories

"Our elders are our teachers. They have much wisdom to share, gained from the experience of their lives. HelpAge Canada is proud to present Our Stories, Their Stories to give our seniors an opportunity have their voice heard. This collection contains truly Canadian stories about overcoming obstacles and surviving difficulties. There are tales of tragedy and triumph from war and the Depression era, which demonstrate how valuable community is to every generation, and about coming to a new land, Canada, to have a fresh start. The stories are about learning and growing, how things have changed, and yet stay the same. Traveling through time, you will be delighted with stories that make you laugh and make you think. Our Stories, Their Stories are captured moments of precious Canadian history, as told by those who have lived them. HelpAge Canada works to improve and maintain the quality of life of vulnerable older persons and their communities in Canada and around the world through building networks that support the interests of older persons affected by poverty, injustice, and discrimination with the view to help them lead dignified, secure, and healthy lives."--
