Aging in Place Safely
Continue to support and engage Older adults within our community. Burlington has an active Active Aging Plan (BAAP) which continues to respond to the growing proportion of older adults and my goal is to support and continue to engage Burlington Communities to enhance and build upon the goals of an "Age Friendly" community that is truly inclusive, accessible and supportive for all.

Understanding the policy and procedure and working with City teams to continue the positive changes and developments will be an important element of my role.
