The City of Cornwall is taking steps to make itself a more senior friendly community. This was one priority identified by City Council in its Strategic Plan which was updated earlier this year. Building on this, over 700 Cornwall seniors were consulted to determine what the City could do to meet this objective. Through the consultation process, suggestions for a Senior Friendly Implementation Plan were formed. A common concern of Cornwall seniors was a need for the consolidation of information about opportunities, programs and services specific to seniors. To address this concern, and as part of a new grant from
the Provincial Government, Jordan Ann Kevan de Haan has been hired as Cornwall’s Senior Friendly Community Liaison Officer. The role of Kevan de Haan is to collect and communicate information for seniors within the City of Cornwall and to advance Cornwall’s Senior Friendly Implementation Plan by encouraging specific, practical recommendations that will ensure Cornwall remains a safe, accessible and enjoyable city for everyone. Kevan de Haan is excited about her new position. “Cornwall is my home, and I love that this job will help me connect seniors with the many opportunities and services we already have within our community,” she said. “I am also looking forward to acting on the advice of Cornwall’s seniors and assisting in making our city even more age-friendly.” Pictured is Myles Cassidy, General Manager, Shared Services, and Kevan de Hann, Senior Friendly Community Liaison Officer. — supplied photo
