OUR PLEDGE

To make our City work for older adults, we will take steps to:
  • Ensure that the well-being of our aging population is addressed by each department in our city government.
  • Make our city safe, affordable and comfortable for our older residents
  • Support employment, entrepreneurship, education and other services to make our older residents more financially secure.
  • Offer housing options that suit the varied needs or our older population.
  • Improve access to transportation and mobility options for our older adults
To provide opportunities for older adults to work for our City, we will:
  • Promote the engagement of older residents in volunteer and paid roles that serve the needs of our city and its residents.
  • Call upon higher education and workforce development programs to help older adults refresh their skills, train, and transition to a new stage of work focused on strengthening out city.
  • Recognizing older residents as an asset for out city and celebrate their contributions to improving lives for all generations.
