    The campaign is called “Growing Bolder” and the youth campaign is “Growing bolder, young eyes on bold lives.”

    June is Seniors Month and NL’s Seniors Advocate has launched a social media campaign. Susan Walsh says last year was the first time they launched such a campaign and this year there is a new component for students in the K-12 education system to draw a picture with a couple of sentences to tell us what they see about someone senior they know. 

    The campaign is called “Growing Bolder” and the youth campaign is “Growing bolder, young eyes on bold lives.” Walsh launched the campaign at a school on the east coast yesterday and says she didn’t have to offer any suggestions on what they should draw.
