Are you a senior interested in making a difference in your community?

Please join us for this interactive workshop where we will discuss:

• What we have achieved so far.

• What else we should be doing.

This workshop will build on the success of the 2011 session where we talked about these important issues impacting seniors today:

• Outdoor spaces and buildings

• Transportation

• Civic participation and employment

• Social participation

• Respect and social inclusion

• Housing

• Communication and information

• Community and health services

Refreshments will be provided.

Members of the community from other wards are encouraged to participate.
