You’re invited to take part in a virtual workshop on May 18
at 7 p.m.
As the senior population in Vaughan continues to grow, it is
important to support the health and well-being of older adults and look to the
future to ensure they can age with dignity, respect and independence. The City
of Vaughan has taken steps to create a more age-friendly community where all
residents can be active and engaged members of society at every stage of life –
including retirement.
Council recently
approved the City’s Age-Friendly Community
Action Plan (PDF) and is inviting the community to a
virtual workshop on Wednesday, May 18 from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. to see the final
plan and to learn about the key findings of the report. Interested in learning
more? Register for the workshop via Zoom.
The Age-Friendly
Community Action Plan was developed under the guidance of the City’s Older
Adult Task Force. The task force’s mandate is to make recommendations on
implementing action items related to the City’s Older Adult Strategy, including
exploring opportunities to move towards an age-friendly community and the
promotion of healthy seniors.
Vaughan’s Age-Friendly
Community Action Plan reinforces the City’s commitment to Active, Safe and
Diverse Communities, a strategic priority in the 2018-2022 Term of
Council Service Excellence Strategic Plan (PDF) that aims to enhance well-being,
enrich Vaughan communities and maintain safety in the community.
