The Age-Friendly Municipalities approach stems from the idea of the Age-Friendly Cities program (AFC) launched in 2005 at the 18th World Congress of Gerontology, organized by the International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Since then, Canada, and more particularly Quebec play a very active role in its development and its implementation. An age-friendly city encourages active ageing by optimizing opportunities for health, participation and security in order to enhance quality of life as people age. In practical terms, an age-friendly city adapts its structures and services to be accessible to and inclusive of older people with varying needs and capacities. To understand the characteristics of an age-friendly city, it is essential to go to the source \u2013 older city dwellers. OMS (2007:1) An AFM or an AFC approach?
