February 9th Community Conversation Event

Creating an "Age Friendly Calgary" by 2020

In the spring of 2011 ElderNET hosting a number of converation workshops that focused on "Successful aging for older Calgarians".

Please click here to view the raw data responses gathered during the workshops. The responses represent what "Successful aging for older Calgarians" meant to our participants, as well as, their thoughts on the assets and challenges that exist for our aging demographic. The data from the group work illustrates the ideas for transformational possibilities regarding successful aging and building collaborative action to support this vision. These initial themes are by no means a finite list.

We are hosting a follow up event with the Bethany Care Society to explore the possibilities for "Creating an Age Friendly Calgary by 2020". The event will be held on Thursday, February 9th at the Greenwood Inn from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
