Midpoint Review of Montréal-Nord’s Seniors Action Plan
Montréal-Nord has shared a midpoint assessment of its 2024–2029 collective seniors action plan, emphasizing progress in supporting older residents through food distribution, information services, and social activities. The borough’s new report provides an update on initiatives and outcomes recorded during the first half of the five-year program.
Strong Support Through Information Services
The report highlights the INFO-AÎNÉS service, which managed 3,550 information requests from older residents in Montréal-Nord. This service is a core part of the action plan, providing essential information services and guidance for the senior community.
Food Distribution and Community Meal Programs
Partner organizations working with the borough distributed 52,000 meals to local seniors. These food distribution efforts were designed to address food insecurity and ensure older adults had access to nutritious meals as part of comprehensive senior support.
Promoting Digital Literacy and Community Engagement
The action plan also delivered on its goal of increasing digital literacy among seniors. The borough offered laptops and digital-literacy workshops, aiming to bridge technology gaps and help older residents stay connected. Additionally, community activities were a significant focus—36 events were organized, attracting over 400 participants and encouraging greater social engagement.
Strengthening Support for Caregivers and Volunteers
Caregiver workshops proved to be another vital component: the report counts 217 participations in such sessions, highlighting ongoing commitment to those supporting seniors. The plan also succeeded in recruiting 25 new senior volunteers, who contributed their time and experience to community activities and peer support initiatives.
Establishing the Seniors Council
An important milestone in the first half of the action plan was the creation of a dedicated seniors council. This body is intended to provide older residents with a platform for engagement and advocacy within Montréal-Nord.
Looking Ahead
The current figures outline achievements in the initial years of the five-year plan, which will continue until 2029. The borough emphasizes its ongoing commitment to supporting older residents through coordinated community-based programs and believes the positive midpoint results reflect growing participation and demand for these services.
