Development and execution of a three phase communications and engagement strategy for the Village’s first Age-Friendly planning process which resulted in the development of an Age-Friendly Action Plan.
We employed a 'go to the people' approach to reach as many seniors in the community as possible. Engagement included a seniors survey (with a 25% response rate), seniors service provider survey, social gathering/input session and an open house to unveil the draft plan. The Plan was adopted by Mayor and Council in March of 2018 and implementation is already underway.
