Age-Friendly Communities
The session "Creating Age-Friendly Communities" was described as:
With the senior population projected to double over the next 20 years, there is an immediate need for local governments to ensure that they are planning for this aging demographic. Through presentations by provincial and local government officials, this session will offer information and ideas to assist communities in determining how age-friendly they are, what can be done to make their communities more age-friendly, and what resources are available. Best practices and projects will also be shared at this session to motivate local governments to action.
