Help Us Build an Age-Friendly Community

The Village of Belledune is taking steps to become an Age-Friendly Community, a program that helps ensure our community is welcoming, inclusive, and supportive for residents of all ages, especially seniors.

An age-friendly community focuses on creating safe, accessible, and supportive environments that allow people to age actively, independently, and with dignity.

What Does This Process Involve?

The Age-Friendly Community process includes several key steps:

• A commitment by Mayor and Council to support age-friendly initiatives

• Input from residents to understand community strengths and gaps

• Development of a clear action plan based on community needs

• Ongoing implementation, monitoring, and improvement

Why We Need Your Input

A crucial part of this process is completing a Community Needs Assessment. This survey helps us understand:

• What is currently working well in our community

• What services, programs, or supports may be missing

• What improvements would help residents remain active, connected, and supported as they age

Your feedback will directly shape the priorities and actions included in our Age-Friendly Community Action Plan.

How You Can Participate

We invite all residents to take a few minutes to complete the Age-Friendly Community Needs Assessment Survey.

Your voice matters, and every response helps us build a stronger, more inclusive community for everyone.
