Age-friendly Community Project Updates

Guided by the experiences, ideas and insight shared by the community, the City has drafted the Vaughan Age-Friendly Community Action Plan. The Plan has been shared with members of Vaughan Council at the Committee of the Whole (Working Session) on Wednesday, April 6.

 

Following the Committee of the Whole (Working Session), the plan will be presented to Council for approval at 1p.m. on Tuesday, April 26.

 

On behalf of the City’s Age-Friendly Project Team, we would like to sincerely thank you for participating in the development of the Vaughan Age-Friendly Community Action Plan. The voice of Vaughan’s citizens and older adult community has been vital to shaping the plan and we are very grateful for your time and dedication to making Vaughan a more age-friendly community.
