This Conference will seek to inspire, support and confirm the unrecognized strengths found in Saskatchewan communities both large and small. Information and stories of community realities can provide templates for other communities to move forward in the future.

Participants will hear about community success from another province’s 12 years of progress in supporting older adults in a variety of rural and urban communities.

Vignettes and stories from within Saskatchewan communities will describe their step-by-step approach and emphasize how different initiatives all confirm a variety of successes in supporting and maintaining their older adult population.

Each story may describe any one or more of these successes: changes in attitudes, intentional inclusion, collaboration and growing synergy, improved physical infrastructure and most importantly, more well-being and happiness within the community.
