County of Simcoe Age Friendly Community Public Consultations
The County of Simcoe is hosting a series of Age-Friendly Community Public Consultations throughout September to gain further input from residents and stakeholders about the age-friendliness of our communities. The consultations will serve as the final step in the Age-Friendly Community initiative's public engagement process, which has been ongoing since January 2016
Attendees will learn about how communities worldwide are being made friendlier for aging residents, and have the opportunity to provide additional input into local research on priorities for continuing improvement that were identified within the eight World Health Organization's Age-Friendly dimensions: housing, outdoor spaces, transportation, communication, respect, social participation, employment, and community and health services.
Results from the consultation sessions and the full community engagement process will be utilized to determine the guiding principles of the County's Age-Friendly Community Planning Framework.
The Collingwood session will be: September 14, 2016 from 2 – 4 p.m. and 6 – 8 p.m. Sunset Manor, 49 Raglan St., Collingwood, Ontario
There will also be sessions in Alliston, September 12th, Orillia, September 19th and Penetanguishene September 30th.
