The 2024 Age-Friendly Business Recognition Award Program is now open for applications until June 30, 2024!

Age-Friendly Business / Organization Guide and Recognition Program and Application

The Age-Friendly Business/Organi​zation Award Program instruction brochure helps business owners assess if their business is designed to serve everyone.  An Age-Friendly business/organization is people-friendly— appealing to all ages and abilities. As an integral part of the community, businesses/ organizations can be key to making a community more livable and engaged. ​

This program provides guidance, resources and tools to enable business owners to identify, promote and be recognized for implementing age-friendly practices. As our population ages, it makes viable business sense to adapt to meet the changing needs of communities as it represents a major trend for investment and spending. 

The program wishes to acknowledge those who are working towards implementing Age-Friendly practices and who have demonstrated a willingness to continually maintain and improve by instituting and promoting best practices for serving individuals of all ages and abilities.

If you are currently implementing Age-Friendly practices, have implemented new Age-Friendly practices since a previous Age-Friendly Business Recognition Award, or if you are in the planning stages of helping to make your business become more age-friendly, we want to hear about it.  

Age-Friendly Business Recognition Award winners will receive a one-time complimentary digital marketing package valued at over $350 (conditions apply), a certificate, decal for their door, along with being recognized through a County press release, social media and on the County website.
