The City of Cambridge launched an Age-Friendly Cambridge Action Plan in 2013. The plan’s initiatives included improving housing, transportation, health supports, social inclusion, and increased access to information for older adults. After 5 years of advocacy, the City of Cambridge was honoured with an Ontario Age-Friendly Community Award - a big win for the City!
