The Advisory Committee on Aging's mandate is to gather public input and make strategic recommendations to Council regarding service delivery for seniors. In late 2015, the ACOA and its partner agencies hosted a series of engagements to capture public input towards the Committee's vision of Aging with Dignity in Wood Buffalo.

In addition to public engagement, the ACOA has, with Council approval, applied to the World Health Organization and began working toward the requirements for designation as an Age-friendly Community.

Responsibilities:
  •  To provide a forum for stakeholder input on strategies and service delivery issues affecting seniors,
  •  To deal with matters referred to it by Council,
  •  To make recommendations to Council,
  •  To lead the RMWB in becoming an Age Friendly Community according to the World Health Organization.
