Grande Prairie City Council has approved the Aging Well Together priorities, setting a clear path to enhance the community's age-friendliness in 2025.

The Aging Well Together initiative seeks to address the specific needs of the 19.3 per cent of the population that is ages 55 and older. The project kicked off in 2024 with community engagement, which helped inform and guide the priorities document. 

The priorities highlighted in the Aging Well Together document include:

The City of Grande Prairie is excited to partner with the Grande Prairie Primary Care Network (GP PCN) to introduce a new Social Prescribing initiative for ages 55 and older, funded by the Government of Alberta. 

Social Prescribing aims to bridge the gap between medical and social care services by allowing providers to make a social prescription to a link worker, a non-clinical professional employed by community-based, seniors-serving organizations.
