An age-friendly community is one where older adults can enjoy good health, community support and feel a sense of security as they engage and participate in the community. In 2011, 33% of the Town of Creston’s population was 65 years and older, up slightly from the 2006 census data of 31%, and much higher than the 2011 provincial figure of 16% . This statistic emphasizes the importance of making the Creston Valley an age-friendly community, and is at the heart of Creston’s Town Council desire to ensure that older adults are active participants in community life and municipal planning initiatives. Engaging seniors and their service providers is important to ensure we focus on the actions that are most needed in making the Creston Valley an age-friendly community and to help ensure they are done right. To this end, these groups were engaged in applying an agefriendly lens to the development of Cultivating Creston, Creston’s new Integrated Community Sustainability Plan (ICSP), which establishes our long-term vision and strategic direction for the Town. Our ICSP also provides implementation and monitoring tools to help ensure progress toward the vision is achieved.
