Project Background
As Canada’s senior population continues to grow, it’s more important than ever to support the health and well-being of older Canadians. That’s why the Town of Midland is taking steps to become a more age-friendly community, where all residents can be active and engaged members of the community at every stage of life.
An age-friendly community is designed to help people live safely, enjoy good health and stay involved. As part of its Global Age-friendly Cities Project, the World Health Organization (WHO) identifies eight key areas of community life that can become more age-friendly:
Outdoor spaces and buildings
Transportation
Housing
Respect and social inclusion
Civic participation and employment
Communication and information
Community support and health services
Social participation
Project Process
The age-friendly community plan process involves completing a background review of existing policies and strategies, preparing an age-friendly profile, and engaging residents in age-friendly community planning.
How can I get involved and learn more?
Residents will have several opportunities to provide feedback on current age-friendly needs, and to explore potential opportunities for improving age-friendliness across the Town of Midland.
