Grey County is developing an 'Age-Friendly Community Strategy and Action Plan' and we want to hear from you!

The project will build on recent policy and research initiatives undertaken by the County (i.e. Grey County Official Plan, Age-Friendly study by University of Guelph students, Grey Bruce Community Safety and Well-Being Plan, etc.), to design a roadmap guiding the corporation and informing the work of local municipalities and other community partners to help ensure the decisions and actions reflect and respond to the needs of everyone; including youth, working-age, older adults, and people with disabilities. AFC planning aims to create a more inclusive environment for all individuals. At the end, there will be a list of action items to be implemented through the County Official Plan, active and public transportation networks, community support services, and physical infrastructure.

This project is primarily funded through the Government of Ontario, Inclusive Community Grant.
