Creating an Age Friendly Community can help seniors lead healthy, active lives and stay involved in their communities as they age.

An Age Friendly Community has:

• Well lit sidewalks that are well maintained all year round
• Buildings with automatic door openers and elevators
• Opportunities for seniors to take part in volunteerism, activities, courses and events

The Canadian Coalition Against Agism (CCAA) is a nation-wide social change movement to end ageism against older people while protecting and strengthening their human rights. For more information on CCAA visit: CCAA — ILC Canada.
