Overall, the regional campaign<br />
was a success. Local organizing<br />
committees joined hands in an effort<br />
to raise awareness about elder abuse.<br />
Furthermore, organizers promoted<br />
intergenerational activities, which<br />
allowed children and youth to<br />
honour their elders.<br />
celebrations of their elders. The local radio callin<br />
show was hosted by Charlie Arngak (president<br />
of Avataq), Amel Boivin (home and community<br />
care nurse) and Elaisa Irniq from noon to 1:30<br />
PM. They gave information on elder abuse and<br />
received questions and comments from callers.<br />
At 3:00 PM, students, teachers and parents<br />
marched through town. The parade was led by a<br />
fire truck and close by was the Usijiit elders’ van<br />
followed by trucks and cars. Next, all participants<br />
formed a circle around the elders’ home. At 4:00<br />
PM, eight elders and children had tea, bannock<br />
and story telling at the community centre. At 5:00<br />
PM, dinner was served to 20 elders in the centre’s<br />
conference room. Food was prepared and<br />
served by young volunteers. Finally, the municipality’s<br />
recreation coordinator organized games<br />
for seniors. The local organizing committee was<br />
composed of Marion Jones (Wellness Committee),<br />
Elaisa Irniq and Nelly Marcoux (the municipality’s<br />
prevention coordinator).<br />
Overall, the regional campaign was a success.<br />
Local organizing committees joined hands<br />
in an effort to raise awareness about elder abuse.<br />
Furthermore, organizers promoted intergenerational<br />
activities, which allowed children and<br />
youth to honour their elders. We hope that next<br />
June we will be able to touch even more hearts<br />
and give more hugs. Lastly, we would like to thank all those who contributed<br />
their time, gifts and funds to this campaign.<br />
