The Thompson Seniors Resource Council is bringing awareness to elder abuse.

This morning they wore purple, and walked from the NRHA Administration building to the Northern Spirit Manor.

It’s all for Elder Abuse Awareness Day, which is today. Mayor Dennis Fenske made a proclamation, last week, to mark the date.

Events are being held worldwide today, to bring awareness to the various forms of elder abuse.

Anyone who knows about a senior who’s abused, call the province’s seniors abuse hotline at 1-888-896-7183.
