Stay Active. Stay Connected. Stay Close to Home.
A strong community should make it easier for older residents to remain active, social and connected within their neighbourhood.
The focus is accessibility, practical local opportunities and listening to seniors about the barriers that make participation harder.
The Action Plan
Listen to Seniors Directly
Use community conversations and outreach to understand barriers to recreation, social connection, transportation and facility access.
Review Accessible Programming
Look at whether timing, location, cost and physical accessibility match how older residents actually use local facilities.
Create More Local Connection
Support community-led opportunities that reduce isolation and allow seniors to participate closer to home.
Improve Information
Make it easier to understand what City, Region and community programs are available instead of expecting residents to navigate multiple systems.
Track Accessibility Issues
Recurring public-space or facility accessibility concerns should be logged, assigned and followed through rather than repeatedly re-reported.
What Residents Should Be Able to See
Direct Feedback
Seniors can see where their feedback has shaped a specific service, access or facility discussion.
Barriers Addressed
Recurring accessibility barriers have an owner, next step and status.
Local Opportunities
Residents can see new or improved opportunities for social and recreational connection close to home.
