Age-friendly Community Planning: Interviews

Gold River is currently undertaking an Age-Friendly planning process. An age-friendly community is one where people of all ages are respected and where the policies, services, physical and social environments are designed to help people “age actively”. Age-friendly is often used to refer to seniors being able to age in their community in a healthy way, but it can apply to people of all ages having access to the services they need.

One way to consider whether a community is age-friendly is the “8-80” Concept. If a community is a good place for an 8-year-old to live and a good place for an 80-year-old, it is probably a good place for everyone, at any stage of life.

As part of this process, the Village is looking for Gold River residents to participate in a short interview (approximately 15-30 minutes). The interviews will include five universal questions and five questions specific to an age-friendly indicator category. These categories include:

  • Housing
  • Parks and Recreation
  • Employment & Investment
  • Healthcare and Services
  • Social Inclusion and Participation
  • Transportation
  • Retail and Buildings
  • Education
  • Tourism

If you are interested in participating, the following options are available:

  1. Via Zoom from the Gold River Council Chambers on March 2nd and March 3rd between 9:15am and 3:30pm*
  2. If you are unable to join the proposed Zoom interview times, a phone interview option will also be available on March 4th between 9:15am and 3:30pm.
  3. If you are unable to make either of the above options work, we can send you the interview questions via email where you can provide a written response by March 5th, 2021.

*The Village of Gold River will follow Covid-19 protocols, including disinfecting all meeting room surfaces before every interview.
