Call for Concepts re. Pan-Canadian Projects Under New Horizons for Seniors Program:
On December 6, 2018, the Federal Government announced a new round of funding for pan-Canadian projects to support social inclusion of seniors, particularly those seniors living with significant barriers to full social participation. They are looking for multi-sectoral collaboratives built on a collective impact framework that will involve seniors and communities to address the challenges that seniors face that limit their participation in social and community living that supports their well-being and dignity.
The Edmonton Seniors Coordinating Council (ESCC) has drafted the following Initial/Draft Concept Plan to share with all interested stakeholders in preparation for the development of a final Concept Proposal, which the funder must receive by January 21, 2019. This is the first feedback opportunity that we are organizing for broad stakeholder consultation, and we encourage as many people as possible to offer ideas and suggestions. ESCC will host a facilitated Working Session on Wednesday, January 9 from 1:00 to 4:00 at the Santa Maria Goretti Centre to examine the Call for Concepts and further develop the Concept Proposal.
Note: This Initial/Draft Concept Plan is intentionally lacking some details that we are asking stakeholders to help us think about and flesh out. Please provide your input in the spaces provided.
