Simcoe County Gets the Gold Star for Being Age-Friendly (and Fabulous)

Simcoe County is officially getting a big ol' stamp of approval from the World Health Organization (WHO) for being an Age-Friendly Community! And let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a good global recognition?

What does this honour mean, you ask? It means Simcoe County is all about supporting healthy, active living for folks of all ages, but especially for the over-60 crowd.

With almost 20% of the population rocking their fabulous 60s and beyond, this shout-out is all about inclusivity, accessible services, and infrastructure that works for everyone. No more struggling to find a place to park near the store (thank you, accessible spots).

So, here’s to Simcoe County, proving once again that age is just a number, and it's all about living life to the fullest—no matter the number on your birth certificate. 🎉
