It’s a milestone unlike any other for 20 residents. An Ottawa seniors’ residence and long-term care facility is celebrating residents who are more than 100 years old at a special event on Wednesday. In celebration of Seniors’ Month, Perley Health is hosting its annual “Century Club” event, recognizing residents aged 100 and older. According to a press release, several celebrants are WWII veterans, offering a timely tribute just days before the D-Day anniversary. There are 20 residents between the ages of 100 and 106 include 13 veterans. Centenarians will be recognized alongside family, staff and special guests at the invite-only event. According to Perley Health, the Century Club was established by the Ozerdinc Grimes Family Therapeutic Recreation and Creative Arts Program in 2017 “to recognize centenarians in a positive atmosphere.”
