Age-Friendly Community Planning

In 2008, CMHC advised that Canadian communities are generally not prepared for an aging population.

Is your community ready?

Cost-effective planning process

Join the growing number of municipalities who are opting for a cost-effective planning process to become certified as an “Age-Friendly Community”. With our “eight to eighty” planning approach, we will help better position your community for solutions to housing, transportation, health, silver economy and social isolation needs.
