WATSON TO HOST SENIORS SUMMIT: City not ready for growth in senior’s population
Mayoral candidate Jim Watson today announced that he would host a city wide senior’s summit within one year if he is successful in the October 25 election.
“The summit would be an opportunity to address a number of both challenges and opportunities that a growing seniors population pose for our community”, Watson said.
“The number of senior citizens will grow significantly in our city”, Watson added, “Those 65 and over will double from 12% to over 24% in the next few decades, according to City of Ottawa projections”.
The summit would help the city better plan for a significant increase in the number of seniors living in the city.
