The Age Friendly Regina Committee would like your thoughts on the strengths and gaps of age friendliness in your neighbourhood and in the city. An age friendly community is one that provides support for older adults to “age actively” – that is to live in security, enjoy good health and continue to participate fully in society.

The answers to the survey will be summarized and shared with the community. All individual responses will be kept confidential. Participants will never be identified individually. This survey should take about 20-30 minutes to complete. For more information on the survey, please contact Tracy Sanden at 306.766.7283 or tracy.sanden@saskhealthauthority.ca.
