Age-Friendly Community Plan

The Village on Main has developed a comprehensive community-based plan that will facilitate and enhance the daily lives of a population with a growing proportion of elders. Age friendly communities recognize that elders and society in general benefit greatly when people of all ages and abilities can connect on a daily basis. The Village on Main is already considered a major health hub, with approximately 50 health and wellness facilities that are clustered in close proximity within the District. This is a huge asset for us to build on. The planning process brought the area’s business, non-profits and residential sectors together to address issues and develop community-based solutions which will help transform the District into a more compact and convenient suburban downtown…. a great place to be whether you’re 8 or 80!

Because of the work we have done in developing this Age Friendly Community Plan, we have been invited to speak at a number of conferences about how the AFCP engages the community. These conferences included; the SHIFT Conference at the School of Planning at Dalhousie University, the Ontario Business Improvement Association Annual Conference and the Downtowns Atlantic Canada Conference.
