A Quebec man has celebrated his 110th birthday, becoming one of Canada's oldest people. The milestone was marked by family and friends in a special gathering.
Birthday Celebration
The man, whose name has not been disclosed, reached the remarkable age of 110. According to reports, the celebration included a cake with 110 candles and a gathering of loved ones.
Canada has a small number of supercentenarians—people aged 110 or older. The exact count varies, but this individual now ranks among the oldest verified living Canadians.
Longevity and Health
Experts note that reaching 110 is extremely rare. The man's longevity is attributed to a combination of genetics, lifestyle, and perhaps luck. He is reported to be in good health for his age.
According to the Gerontology Research Group, only about one in a million people live to 110. Canada currently has fewer than a dozen verified supercentenarians.
Family and Community Response
Family members expressed pride and joy. “We are so grateful to have him with us,” a relative said. The local community also celebrated, with the mayor sending a congratulatory letter.
This birthday adds to Canada's growing list of centenarians. The number of Canadians aged 100 and older has been rising steadily, reflecting improvements in healthcare and living conditions.
