This section of the site makes tools available to facilitate and support the AFM approach undertaken in your various municipalities.<\/p>\n

In 2013, the SA decided to produce a guide (Guide to implementing the age-friendly municipality initiative<\/a>) for\u00a0municipalities. The guide is intended to provide municipalities and RCMs with\u00a0clear, practical directions for developing and implementing an AFM project in their\u00a0community.\u00a0
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Who is the guide for? <\/strong><\/span>The guide is for anyone undertaking an AFM initiative, be they elected officials or project managers, from the municipal government sector or the community, or anyone else interested in the initiative.<\/p>\n

The guide is designed to be as practical as possible for municipalities and RCMs. It provides a method to follow for each of the six stages of the AFM initiative.<\/p>\n

For each stage, the guide is divided into three parts:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A description of the stage ;<\/li>\n
  2. A description of good practices;<\/li>\n
  3. Key points.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The icons below highlight information to remember, appropriate tools for each stage of the initiative and pitfalls to avoid when carrying out an AFM project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/td>\n\n

    The toolbox means that documents about the six stages of the AFM initiative can be\u00a0downloaded.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

    		\"\"<\/td>\nThe picture of a book means that documents can be consulted or downloaded from the Web site.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    \"\"<\/td>\n\u00a0The light bulb stands for \u201cgood ideas\u201d and provides references to concrete examples of success.<\/td>\n\"\"<\/td>\nA star indicates elements that are required to be awarded the title \u201cAge-friendly Municipality\u201d by the MSSS and the WHO.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    \"\"<\/td>\n\u00a0The yellow triangle stands for \u201cCaution!\u201d and means that caution must be exercised during implementation.<\/td>\n\"\"<\/td>\nThe CAMF logo means that\u00a0a CAMF tool can be downloaded\u00a0to\u00a0help complete the stages of the\u00a0AFM initiative.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

    The toolbox of the AFM guide<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n

    The toolbox allows you to download documents on the six steps of the AFM approach. Click on the step you are interested in and it will lead you to the tools and documentation developed by the research team of the Age-Friendly Cities in Quebec, from the Research Centre on Aging of the CSSS-IUGS.<\/p>\n

    These documents were developed through our research and our support to several municipalities already included in the AFM approach.<\/p>\n

    THE 6 STAGES<\/h4>\n
    \n
    \n

    1. Municipal council and municipality<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    2. Steering committee<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    3. Diagnosis<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    While these stages are being completed, the circulation of information<\/span>, both between steering committee members and with partners in the community, must be given priority. A communication plan must be drawn up to support the development of the initiative and the projects undertaken as well as to celebrate successes.<\/p>\n

    Lastly, one of the conditions for success is to ensure older people participate at every stage of the initiative <\/span> and that the whole community contributes<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    \n

    4. Seniors policy and action plan<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    5. Implementation<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    6. Self-assessment<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
