Aging in place means having access to services, and health and social supports, to live and grow older in one’s home and community, safely and well. Surveys tell us that overwhelmingly, seniors want to age in place; seniors want to age in community. Accessible transportation is important for aging in place/community. For Edmonton seniors, what are current transportation barriers? As Mayor, how do you plan to deal with these challenges/barriers?Current: Right now, there are several transportation barriers that face seniors in Edmonton. From a lack of bus service in certain nieghbourhoods to improperly cleared sidewalks in the winter time.

Our city hasn't prioritized development of infrastructure with an inclusive…
What a wonderful turn out of seniors for the forum. Between all the streaming services running, the Webinar itself and seniors' residences that streamed the service we had 509 viewers. There are still a few streaming places that haven't reported but the number of seniors who participated is grand.

If you'd like to see the recording of the forum on demand, you can find it on our YouTube Channel. Any written…

This pandemic is now taking the lives of the unvaccinated. Only 67.2% of Albertans have received two doses of the vaccine.
