As we move into the colder months, it is important to recognize the challenges winter brings, especially for older adults in our community. To address this, the Age-Friendly Calgary Steering Committee has made it a priority to reduce barriers that limit older adults' participation during the winter season.
The Centre on Aging is a proud member of the Age-Friendly Calgary Steering Committee, reflecting our commitment to improving age-friendliness both on our campus and throughout the wider community. The Steering Committee leads the implementation of Calgary’s Seniors Age-Friendly Strategy, with members representing government, non-profit, healthcare, post-secondary education, and private sectors, as well as Calgarians with lived experience.
As part of its efforts, the Centre co-sponsored a video titled "Connections in the Cold: Navigating the Challenges of Winter for Older Adults," which highlights the difficulties older adults may face during the winter months. Age-Friendly Calgary and the City of Calgary have also developed several resources to support older adults in preparing for winter.
We encourage you to watch the video and explore the resources below to help ensure that older community members stay safe and supported throughout this winter season.
