Age Friendly Strategy
The Age Friendly Strategy provides the key strategies and desired outcomes for developing an age friendly community.
City of Surrey has experienced significant changes since the initial development of the Age-Friendly Strategy for Seniors in 2014. This updated Age Friendly Strategy builds on the City’s many overarching plans and strategies to provide an integrated approach to address the comprehensive needs of older adults in Surrey.
The Strategy seeks to define new opportunities for partnerships and collaborations – both internally across City departments as well as externally with various community organizations and groups to meet the needs of our senior community.
We want Surrey to be an age friendly city where people enjoy lifelong activity and engagement.
The Surrey Age Friendly Strategy provides the key strategies and desired outcomes for developing an age-friendly community.
The strategy includes:
Safety, health and wellness
Seniors are supported to be active and engaged in their community and engagement practices are in place to prevent isolation
Transportation & mobility
Seniors have a range of safe, convenient and accessible affordable transportation choices.
Home
Seniors have access to affordable and appropriate housing and support necessary to remain as independent as possible.
Buildings & outdoor spaces
Public places, outdoor spaces and buildings are designed to be welcoming, safe and accessible.
