Grand Bay-Westfield

Throughout our research and collection of feedback we have determined that our 50+ community members are overall very satisfied with their experience, living, working and aging here.

Overview

Much of the information and feedback we have received will help to increase awareness and make improvements in the next municipal plan. 

The priorities identified are: 

  • barrier free access 
  • accessible and affordable “around town” transportation options 
  • increase awareness of resources, programs and events 
  • further development and leadership at senior’s activity center 
  • progressive housing model assessment (need and timeline) 

The appointed Age Friendly Committee has taken the following steps to collect and review feedback and information used to determine these priority areas: 

  • Environmental scan of services and resources available 
  • Attended workshops and networking events with an Age-Friendly focus 
  • Offered presentations and one on one calls/meetings for community groups and individuals 
  • Circulated and collected 162 survey responses
  • Held and facilitated two focus groups 
  • Identified priorities
  • Created action plan
