Older Adults Plan
Strathcona County created an Older Adults Plan to identify and plan for the needs of older adults. After extensive community consultation, priorities were identified and strategies developed for the delivery of programs and services.
The Seniors Outreach Program was developed as part of the Older Adults Plan to increase the supports available for older adults and their families as they adjust to life transitions.
