Executive Summary<\/strong><\/span>
\n“The Seniors Advisory Committee was appointed by Council on September 20, 2011 with a\u00a0mandate to develop an \u201cAge-friendly\u201d Plan for the City of Kingston in keeping with the theme\u00a0and direction of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Global Network of Age-friendly Cities and Communities. The\u00a0length of term of the committee was expected to be 12 months and will conclude with the\u00a0submission of the recommended plan to Council.<\/p>\n

The Global Network\u00a0is an international effort to help cities prepare for two global demographic trends: the rapid ageing of populations and increasing urbanization\u00a0by targeting\u00a0the environment, social and economic factors that influence the health and well-being of older adults. The City of Kingston became part of the WHO Global Network of Age-friendly Cities in 2012. The first stage in becoming an age-friendly city is a planning stage requiring the completion of a baseline assessment of the age-friendliness of the city ensuring involvement from older adults in the planning process.<\/p>\n

The Seniors Advisory Committee has developed 58 recommendations in the The Age-friendly\u00a0Kingston Stage One Report to address the eight domains identified by the WHO, namely:\u00a0outdoor spaces and buildings; transportation; housing; social participation; respect and social\u00a0inclusion; civic participation and employment; communication and information; and community\u00a0support and health services.”<\/p>\n
