Welcome to our Silver is Gold Festival – message from the CEO

Sparking connection and re-imagining ageing

Our community is changing and evolving constantly with COVID restrictions, borders opening and closing and travel arrangements altered at the last minute due to the uncertainty that lies ahead on any given week or day. Because of this uncertainty and unpredictability, COTA ACT has created a Festival of events that is flexible, adaptable and agile to encourage community connection in a safe, agile and flexible way.

Sparking a connection – We are keen to see the whole community take responsibility in reaching out, building a cooperative spirit and making genuine connections with our older Canberrans.

Re-imagining ageing – We are all living longer. Seniors today are quite active and contribute hugely to society well into their older years. This occurs through volunteering, looking after grandchildren and continuing to be actively involved in the work force.

Silver is Gold Festival events will encourage everyone in the community to re-imagine ageing and older people because before long, we will all be old. Contributing to a community that welcomes and nurtures our seniors is a far better place for everyone to live. This is worth celebrating all year round!

Silver is Gold Seniors Expo

COTA ACT sadly advises that the 2021 Expo has been postponed.
We are working with EPIC and Events ACT to bring the expo to our senior community in the future, but our highest priority is the health and wellbeing of our members.
