Respect and Social Inclusion
An Age-Friendly community provides social opportunities that include and recognize all citizens and especially seniors so they can continue to contribute to and benefit from community life. Examples include: opportunities for intergenerational activities and events, networking with friends, promoting the positive qualities of aging, reducing ageism and an increased sense of security with reduction in crime and vandalism.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world,
Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.
(Margaret Mead)
