Description

"Led by the Seniors & Healthy Aging Secretariat, the Age-Friendly Manitoba Initiative supports seniors in leading active, socially engaged, independent lives that contribute to healthy aging. The Seniors and Healthy Aging Secretariat works with partners and local communities to create environments that value older adults and all members of the community.

The Age-Friendly Manitoba Initiative was announced in February 2008 at the Age-Friendly Communities Summit in Portage la Prairie.

Our vision is to create communities that:

value and supports the contributions of older people;
celebrates diversity, refutes ageism and reduces inequities; and
provides age-friendly environments and opportunities for healthy choices that enhance independence and quality of life.
Our goal of Age-Friendly Manitoba Initiative is simple: To make Manitoba the most age-friendly province in Canada."
