Portage la
Prairie Age Friendly Cities Advisory Committee
In 2006,
the City of Portage la Prairie participated in the World Health
Organization Global Age-Friendly Cities Project. The project
included the study of eight domains relating to aging. The
Age-Friendly Cities Report highlights key findings and presents
recommendations arising from the research.
An
Age-Friendly Community enables individuals of all ages and abilities
to live active lives, to enjoy good health, to live in security and
to participate in society.
The
Age-Friendly Cities Advisory Committee is appointed by City Council
to consider aging related issues in the City of Portage la Prairie
and:
-
To provide advise, consultation and
recommendations to the City of
Portage la Prairie on policies and issues related to creating an
Age-Friendly environment.
-
To develop and implement
an annual action plan for Portage
la Prairie based on the recommendations in the Portage la
Prairie Age-Friendly Cities Report and other information that
may come to the attention of the Committee.
-
To review and determine
appropriate follow-up to aging related issues brought to the
attention of the Committee by Council, Advisory Committee
Members or citizens at large.
-
To raise awareness
of the benefits of Age-Friendliness throughout the community.
