West Lincoln’s Age Friendly Advisory Committee (WLAFAC) is focused on making our Township an age-friendly community.

We provide input and suggestions to Township Council and staff on related initiatives and organize events and workshops to connect and support older adults and caregivers in our community.

All residents and visitors are welcome to participate as community members. The Committee may have a maximum of 12 voting members.

The Age Friendly Committee will be facilitating three public events in 2025. See below for details.
