We (my colleague, Mark Weingartner, from the City, our Steering Committee, the illustrious Age-Friendly Hamilton Committee) have had many conversations and planning sessions to plan for the plan. We conducted focus groups last summer, interviews have been done with City Staff. Past reports have been reviewed.
We are getting close.
We are launching in March with a series of conversations with those working to increase opportunities for Social Participation for Older Adults, and with leaders in communities who have something to say about how this is and could be done. March 5 from 1 – 4 pm at St. Peter’s Hospital in the auditorium. For more information email admin@coahamilton.ca. This will be followed by another conversations, one on Aging in Place, Improving Communication, Access to Information and Learning on March 20.
We will be posting meeting notes and updates on our website and I will be blogging regularly as we move ahead. You can also follow us on Twitter @AFH_Hub
Stay tuned!
