Summary
At 110 years young, Joseph Mery Arthur—Canada’s oldest living person—celebrates a life of wisdom, resilience, and boundless family love. Born in Haiti in 1916, he moved to Montreal decades ago, where he built a sprawling legacy with 25 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. Still sharp and active, he credits longevity to “being wise” and practicing moderation, while enjoying reading, crosswords, and sports. A former public servant and baker, he devoted himself to community and family, walking unaided and reading despite fading eyesight. Once prayed not to live so long, he now cherishes every moment with his great-grandchildren—and hopes one of them will follow his path to a long, meaningful life.
