In 2012, SSM (Saskatchewan Seniors Mechanism) began working toward developing the Age-Friendly program in Saskatchewan. Initial plans were gradually built on in the following few years.
This included SSM becoming the primary Saskatchewan link to the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) Age-Friendly Reference Group.
SSM’s annual conference in 2014 explored what an Age-Friendly community is and worked to identify the connection between Age-Friendly communities and reducing elder abuse.
Using the 8 Domains of the World Health Organization (WHO) along with the Milestones set up by the Public Health Agency of Canada, they developed a strong program that continues to grow to the present day.

In Age-Friendly Communities,
the contributions of older adults
are not only recognized and valued,
but are encouraged
and seen as vital.
With active leadership
and involvement of older adults,
Age-Friendly brings a new ‘lens’ to
seeing our communities
so we become ‘all ages friendly.’
“If it serves older persons, it will serve all persons.”
