Seniors Planning and Strategy Development

Seniors in Richmond are a diverse and growing demographic. The City of Richmond is committed to planning for the evolving needs of seniors in the community through its plans and strategies, which are outlined below. 

Seniors Strategy (2022-2032)
On September 26, 2022, City Council adopted the PDF Document City of Richmond Seniors Strategy (2022-2032), which will guide the work of the City and community partners to support seniors living in Richmond over the next ten years. The purpose of the Strategy is to address the needs of the growing population of seniors in Richmond. The Strategy does this by building on a solid foundation of community supports and programs that enable and empower seniors to be healthy, active and connected to the community. 

Engaging Seniors in Age-Friendly Planning - 2020
Funded by a 2019 Age-Friendly Communities Grant from the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM), the goal of the Engaging Seniors in Age-Friendly Planning project was to provide the City of Richmond and other organizations with a framework to guide the engagement of seniors in age-friendly planning in neighbourhoods throughout the city. The project built on previous age-friendly planning initiatives in Richmond, including the 2015-2019 Age Friendly Action Plan.
