Are you an undergraduate or graduate student passionate about bettering the lives of older Canadians? Apply now to be an NIA/@rto_ero Summer Scholar! Applications are open until March 1. torontomu.ca/careers/resear…

@CamGuthrie Great! Looking forward to seeing how the activities and implementation plan align with the Older Adult Strategy!

@kimwilson__ Our newly approved strategic plan embraces that focus.

My TOP 10 takeaways from my trip to Copenhagen to apply to #Guelph: 1. TRANSIT: More frequency & wider coverage area & times. 2. SEPARATED: The painted white lines will not provide the choice many are looking for if they want to ditch the car for their bike. Build them right & they will come. 3. CONNECTIONS: Building better connections for people through areas of nature & “play” right outside your door & neighbourhood. 4. DENSITY: Freaking density in housing. Get it done. 5. EQUITY: Equity in design for infrastructure & accessibility throughout areas of the city that needs it. 6. HEALTHY FOOD: The availability of local, fresh & healthy food is vital & interconnected to affordability, housing & more. 7. ASK: Are we planning a city for both the 8 year old & the 80 year old? 8. POLITICAL WILL: Decisions are tough. That’s why we’re elected. Make them. 9. PRIORITIZE: What is the overall greater good for the city to get better things accomplished? Departments need to seek out from others what is the greater good & be willing to drop their own list for others. 10. PARKING: There’s room in those spaces for people, housing, patios pop up parks or bicycle/micro mobility parking. There will be some need for the car, but reimagine those spaces & don’t default to the car all the time.
