Age Friendly Edmonton

Age Friendly Edmonton™ is an initiative to build a city that values, respects and actively supports the well-being of seniors.

An age friendly city is an inclusive place where age is not a barrier to access services, programs, businesses or facilities. Creating an age friendly city helps us all.

Co-led by the City of Edmonton and the Edmonton Seniors Coordinating Council, Age Friendly Edmonton™ is a partnership of organizations committed to local action.

To achieve our vision that “Edmonton is a community that values, respects and actively supports the safety, diversity and wellbeing of seniors”, we strive for impact in the following areas:

• Seniors are engaged, participating, and contributing to their communities
• Seniors are safe and well in their home and communities
• Seniors are respected and included
• Seniors have access to the programs, services, and resources they need
