Did you know? 

The Township of South Glengarry is one of 15 Age-Friendly Communities (AFC) in Eastern Ontatrio. On June 27, 2016 the Council of the Township of South Glengarry adopted an Age Friendly Community Action Plan.

This document contains analyses and recommendations on improving recreation services for adults 55 years of age and older.

Community consultation included an online survey of older adults, community meetings throughout the Township with residents and service providers and community organizations and background research.

 What is an Age-Friendly Community (AFC)?

 An age-friendly community:

  • recognizes that seniors have a wide range of skills and abilities;
  • understands and meets the age-related needs of seniors;
  • respects the decisions and lifestyle choices of seniors;
  • protects those seniors who are vulnerable;
  • recognizes that seniors have a lot to offer their community; and
  • recognizes how important it is to include seniors in all areas of community life
