The Lane Cove village was buzzing on Thursday 24 October with seniors, family and
friends gathering for Lane Cove's first March for Age Equality. Inspired by the
United Nations International Day of Older Persons in
October, the march celebrated the lives of older people and raised
awareness of the negative impact of ageism on
older people. Mayor of Lane Cove, Clr Pam Palmer, spoke about the journey to
age equality and how we can work together to change negative narratives and
stereotypes affecting older people. Everyone in the audience loved the
performance by the Older Women's Network and they certainly squashed some myths
about old age!
