Age-Friendly Community

Age-Friendly Community

The Southern Georgian Bay Chamber of Commerce is participating as a member on the Age-Friendly Community Project Steering Committee.

From the World Health Organization (WHO) to our municipal government, there is a call for an age-friendly society.  The County of Simcoe recognizes the Age-Friendly Community (AFC) concept as an initiative that falls within their mandate and, in support of our aging population, has chosen to develop a framework for the communities that reside within its geographical area.  Developing a framework will help our community stakeholders identify, plan and address needs and priorities related to older adults in our area.
