Share your 2025 Age-Friendly Hamilton Success Story!

As 2025 comes to a close, we want to hear from you! Tell us something you did this year to help make Hamilton more Age-Friendly - a welcoming and supportive place for older adults. Your efforts matter, and your example can inspire others across our community.

What counts as Age-Friendly?
ANYTHING that makes your space, service, or program easier, safer, or more comfortable for seniors! Some examples:
  • adding a chair or seating area
  • using larger-print signs
  • improving lighting or pathways
  • offering help at the door
  • offering delivery or house calls
  • creating programs or activities that welcome older adults
  • building or upgrading a senior-friendly space
  • making policy or service changes that support older adults
Why share your story?
Your story will be included in our 2025 Age-Friendly Hamilton Community Progress Report and helps highlight the great work happening across Hamilton.

8.Red Book Hamilton — Optional Invitation
The Red Book, created by Hamilton Public Library, connects people to essential programs and services across the city. It also partners with 211 Ontario, a 24/7 helpline available in over 150 languages, making it easier for community members to find the support they need.

Age-Friendly Hamilton is excited to partner with the Red Book to help organizations create or update their listings, so more people can access the services they rely on.

Please note: Eligible listings include:
  • non-profit and community services
  • government programs
  • elected representatives (non-partisan)
  • grassroots organizations
  • Commercial services are only included if they fill a gap in non-profit services or support underrepresented groups facing barriers.
Would you like to be contacted to CREATE or UPDATE your program listing in the Red Book? We will use the contact information you provided earlier to connect you with the Red Book team.(Required.)
