Age-Friendly Oshawa
Oshawa is a member of the World Health Organizations (W.H.O.) Global Network for Age Friendly Cities and Communities. The goal of age-friendly planning is to build communities that encourage good health and participation for people throughout their lives.
In partnership with the Oshawa Senior Community Centres 55+ (OSCC55+) Board of Directors, we joined the network in January 2020.
