Ontario’s revised Age-Friendly Communities (AFC) Planning Guide was released in 2021. The Guide — titled Creating a More Inclusive Ontario: Age-Friendly Community Planning Guide For Municipalities and Community Organizations — is intended for municipalities, community organizations and others working to develop and support Age Friendly Communities (AFCs) in Ontario. It offers a widely used and comprehensive approach to planning, implementing and evaluating community programs that are intended to foster self-determination, inclusiveness and accountability. In this webinar, Sarah Webster delves into the background and purpose of the guide, as well as how how to use it to advance age-friendly practice. Presented by Sarah Webster and hosted by the Ontario Age-Friendly Community Outreach Program on March 23. 2022. For more information, visit: https://sagelink.ca/age-friendly-communities-ontario/.
