In collaboration with the Vernon Seniors Action Network, the City of Vernon is undertaking several initiatives to help make our community more inclusive and age and dementia friendly.
An age-friendly community is a place where policies, services and structures related to both physical and social environments are designed to help seniors be as safe, healthy and engaged as possible (for more information, check out the World Health Organization Age Friendly Cities Guide).
A dementia-friendly community is a place where people living with dementia and their caregivers are understood, respected, supported and included without fear or stigma (for more information, check out this World Health Organization Dementia Inclusive Society Toolkit).
With support from BC Healthy Communities and in consultation with community partners, the City is conducting an assessment and creating its first Age and Dementia Friendly Community Plan. This Plan will highlight the specific needs and priorities of our community and will help ensure that they are considered and integrated into future City plans, policies and programs.
A public Open House will be held on Tuesday, May 9, 2023, from 10:00 – 12:00 pm, at the Schubert Centre (3505 30th Avenue). All ages are welcome and light refreshments will be provided. Your feedback is important and we hope to see you there!
