I'm pleased to annouce that our first focus group for the Age-friendly Living Guidelines Project will be held next week on Friday July 23rd, at the Municipal Hall in the Carr's Landing Room, from 1-3pm. We still have room for a few more participants, so if the time works for you, please drop me a line at agefriendlyguidelines@gmail.com to confirm your attendance.
You can also find us on the Castanet Lake Country forums if you're interested in making your voice heard through that medium instead. The more conversation that we can generate around the challenges and opportunities presented by age-friendly planning, the more we can work collectively for an age-friendly future in the District. So, tell your friends, tell your neighbours, and do contact us if you have ideas or thoughts you would like to see incorporated into the project as time moves ahead.
For some examples of age-friendly planning undertaken in other municipalities, you might want to check out what the state of Minnesota has been working on, what the town of Creston accomplished in their age-friendly planning audit, and how the UK government is working to ensure that housing stocks for people of all ages are readily available. Age-friendly planning is the new wave of sustainable town planning and the District is in the thick of the action!
