Age Friendly Christina Lake Action Plan

The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) received a grant from the Union of BC Municipalities for an Age Friendly Community study for Christina Lake. The RDKB contracted Christina Gateway Community Development Association (Christina Gateway). to do the assessment and action plan. This study looks at the age related barriers and opportunities in the living experience of residents. Suggestions from the survey and meetings were collected and evaluated according to their feasibility and impact. The top suggestions are the basis for this action plan. The first sections provide the context for Christina Lake and a review of previous studies in Christina Lake and other BC communities. The report then goes through the top suggestions by seven age friendly community themes: housing; transportation; activities; services; community and social; communication; and outdoor spaces. Two features were added for this report, food security and intergenerational programming.
