We are pleased to report that City Council has approved Vancouver’s first-ever Age-Friendly Action Plan— a series of over 60 actions that the City can take to help make Vancouver a more safe, inclusive, and engaging city for older adults.
These 60 action items are based on the Seniors’ Dialogues Project, which involved consultations with over 400 older adults, caregivers, and senior-serving organizations in Vancouver.
This action plan plan is informed by two of the guiding principles in Vancouver’s overall Healthy City Strategy: improving health and well-being for all, and addressing health-related inequities.
The Seniors’ Advisory Committee considers this plan to be an important steps towards Vancouver’s goal of becoming a provincially-designated “Age-Friendly Community” and, ultimately, an “Age-Friendly City” as designated by the World Health Organization.
