Our speaker was Dale Harvey, who is on the boards of Nanaimo Family Life Assoc. and Nanaimo Seniors Task Force. His topic was “Age Friendly City Plan”. The task force is putting together a document for City approval prior to seeking World Health Organization designation as an Age Friendly City. The document will address 9 “domains of age friendliness” : outdoor spaces and buildings, transportation, housing, social participation, health & community services, respect & social inclusion, civic participation, volunteerism & employment, communications & information, food security & healthy eating.
