“Age-Friendly communities support people to age safely, enjoy good health and to continue to participate fully in their community.”
Viewing community living through an Age-Friendly lens helps to improve quality of life for all and contributes to a respectful social environment.
Age-Friendly Manitoba encourages active aging to enhance quality of life as people age. It is built on the World Health Organization’s (WHO) healthy aging framework that assesses eight key dimensions of community life where opportunities are optimized for health, participation and security. (Housing; Transportation; Outdoor Spaces and Buildings; Community Support; Health Services; Communication and Information; Civic Participation and Employment; Social Participation, Respect and Social Inclusion.)
An Age-Friendly approach benefits all its community members and allows them to lead a healthy active lifestyle, living where they wish to be.
Becoming an Age-Friendly Community is building partnerships and encouraging collaboration.
Engaging community members leads to a holistic and coordinated approach that raises public awareness and creates a forum for ideas and innovative approaches toward age-friendly priorities and actions. Every community is unique in their approach toward community involvement.
