The City is inviting seniors aged 55 and older in the Blundell neighbourhood to join the Blundell Age-Friendly Neighbourhood Group, where they can actively shape and enhance the community for a better, more inclusive future.
The group will meet five times from May to June 2025 to help identify opportunities to make the neighbourhood more age friendly. Up to 15 seniors will be selected to participate in this initiative, with a focus on everyone sharing insights. The group aims to include diverse participants representing a broad range of needs, backgrounds and experiences. No special expertise is required—just a commitment to helping improve the neighbourhood for seniors. Refreshments will be provided.
Those interested can apply:
- online at LetsTalkRichmond.ca/Age-Friendly-Blundell
- by calling 604-276-4175, Monday to Friday, 9:00am to 4:00pm. (Applicants may also call this phone number if they need assistance with the form.)
The application deadline is Tuesday, April 22, 2025 at 5:00pm. Responses will remain confidential, and personal information will be protected. All applicants will be notified of their application status by Monday, May 5, 2025.
The City is committed to making all programs accessible and inclusive. Meetings will be held in wheelchair/scooter accessible locations, with accommodations available to support a wide range of needs.
A final report, including recommendations for creating a more age-friendly Blundell neighbourhood will be published in the fall of 2025. To date, the City has completed four neighbourhood group projects, in Seafair (2019), Broadmoor (2024), Cambie/East Richmond (2024) and Hamilton (2024). Seniors in each neighbourhood identified aspects of age-friendly planning and provided input on opportunities to further support seniors to remain connected in their community. Our goal is to complete Age-Friendly Neighbourhood Groups in every Richmond planning area.
