What does it mean to live in an age-friendly city?
Age-friendly environments allow all people to age well in a place that is right for them and contribute to their communities while enabling their independence and health. Because older people know best what they need, they are at the centre of any effort to create a more age-friendly City.
The City of St. John’s is recognized as being age-friendly through World Health Organization (WHO). One key element of our commitment to being an age-friendly City involves providing increased opportunities to engage with seniors on civic matters that enhance healthy aging within our City.
Engagement will focus on what it means to be an Age-Friendly City and help determine actions and priorities related to the eight key domains for Age-Friendly Cities used by World Health Organization. Additional information on each of the domains is available in the FAQs section.
Check out the information provided on this page, share your ideas, register for an upcoming virtual or in-person meeting, or plan to stop by a pop-up event related to the project in your area.
