Background

The Municipality of Middlesex Centre is developing a 3-5 year 'Age-Friendly Community Action Plan' to help guide the municipality in becoming a community that supports active, healthy, and engaged living for people through all life stages and abilities, and fosters civic, economic, and social participation. This project will focus on residents over the age of 55 and those with disabilities.

This project is funded by the Government of Ontario through the Inclusive Community Grants Program.
