MAPLERIDGE – Seniors in every region of B.C. will benefit as 52 local governments
receive age-friendly grants to support older residents in staying healthy and
active in the community.
One element of Age-friendly BC is a
partnership between the Province and the Union of British Columbia
Municipalities (UBCM) to provide grants of up to $20,000 to local governments,
through UBCM’s age-friendly planning and project grant program, to help
establish or continue a variety of projects, from improved transportation
options for seniors to community gardens.
