Help Shape Waterloo's Age-friendly Action Plan (2027-2030)
Official title: Age-friendly Action Plan
The City of Waterloo is planning how to better support older adults over the next few years. They want to know what's working, what's not, and what gaps exist in services for seniors. Your feedback will shape programs, services, and funding decisions through 2030.
Why This Matters
Have aging parents in Waterloo? Planning to grow old there yourself? This plan affects everything from transit accessibility to recreation programs for seniors. If you've noticed gaps in support for older adults—or things that work well—now's the time to speak up.
What Could Change
The City could adjust funding for senior services, modify transit routes for better accessibility, or create new programs based on community feedback. A report with recommendations goes to Council in spring/summer 2027, which will guide city decisions through 2030.
