Age-Friendly Action Plan
WORK ON THE AGE-FRIENDLY ACTION PLAN IS NOW COMPLETE. CLICK ON THIS LINK TO REVIEW THE PLAN AND FOLLOW ITS IMPLEMENTATION.
Penticton is taking steps to become recognized by the Province of B.C. as an age-friendly community. As part of this process, we need to evaluate what we’ve done right and what we need to improve. Information gathered on this page will help the City prepare its Age Friendly Action Plan, which will determine steps we can take to make our community even more inclusive for residents as they age.

More housing options
The majority of housing in Penticton is age restricted and unaffordable. There are many options for housing for seniors but what about the rest of Penticton? Working people? Family’s? Collage university students? Single parents?

More public washrooms are needed
Submitted by Judy: The biggest barrier for healthy aging is public washrooms? We as a ladies senior group go walking for health, no washrooms are open anymore. How is this age friendly??? Also how is this welcoming for visitors to the city? I realize there’s a problem with vandalism’s there has to be a way! Why can a guard not be hired for the daylight hours? I am upset as one of the ladies we walk with says she mightn’t be able to come anymore because of no no toilet accessible......... Not only seniors everyone has to use a bathroom 🚽 A Senior who likes to stay healthy and be out walking

Love this pen pal idea
Just saw this pen pal idea shared on Facebook and it would be wonderful to recreate this in Penticton. It would be a great opportunity for my kids to get involved and especially during these times of the pandemic it would spread some cheer. The WHO element this relates to is #5 (older adults treated with respect and feel included). My age group is 40-59. Thx!

Not everyone in Penticton has a vehicle. This is true for all ages (young and old). Improved bus service would be very helpful.

Warnings
By law officers to write warning slips before fines on all public parking lots for campers. Especially during a Jazz Fest. Quit driving tourists away.
