“Age Friendly Communities support people to age safely, enjoy good health and to continue to participate fully in their community.” Viewing community living through an
Age Friendly lens helps to improve quality of life for all and contributes to a respectful social environment. The Age Friendliness of the community is promoted, understood and appreciated, for example, by local government, businesses, non-profit groups, senior centres, schools,& professional services.

Rossburn Age Friendly was established in 2009 by a Municipal council resolution. We have stayed active throughout with a short interruption due to Covid.

In 2024, Manitoba Association of Senior Communities opened – to all Age-Friendly Communities, the opportunity to apply for the Community Collaboration Grant Project.
Rossburn Age-Friendly Committee applied to enhance and update the technology at our Drop-In-Centre and give a face lift to the interior. We are very excited and pleased that
we were approved for this, to an amount of $8,978.74.
