VICTORIA – New Democrat seniors critic Katrine Conroy issued the following statement in honour of National Seniors Day:

“On behalf of the New Democrat caucus I’d like to recognize National Seniors Day and extend my sincere gratitude to the countless seniors across British Columbia who have contributed to our diverse communities.
