As more residents choose to age in their own communities, officials in the Pontiac area are rolling out a new plan aimed at making life easier, safer, and more inclusive for seniors.
The MRC Pontiac marked National Seniors Day by launching its new Municipalité Amie des Aînés Policy and 2026-2030 Action Plan, developed in partnership with 14 municipalities across the region to help seniors remain active, independent, and involved in community life for as long as possible.
“Our seniors play an essential role in the vitality of our communities. This policy gives us the tools to better respond to their needs while continuing to build a more accessible, inclusive, and welcoming Pontiac for everyone,” said Jane Toller, Warden of MRC Pontiac.
Residents will have a chance to learn more and share their thoughts on proposed projects during the Service Pathways event at the Bryson Recreation Association building on October 14.
The full policy and action plan will be officially unveiled on November 3, with MRC staff attending various events in the coming weeks to promote the initiative and gather community feedback.
