City of Vernon Age and Dementia Friendly Plan Lived Experience Video

The City of Vernon has developed an Age and Dementia Friendly Community Plan to ensure the needs of older adults, people living with dementia, and their care partners are understood and accommodated as our community grows.
The Plan, endorsed by City Council on June 24, 2024, will be integrated into the City’s policies, including the Official Community Plan (OCP). This ensures improved accessibility for aging populations, persons living with dementia, and other community members with diverse needs.
The Plan was developed in consultation with community members, health care providers, and City staff across all divisions. It connects Vernon with a network of other BC communities planning for the needs of older adults and people living with dementia.
