The international body has added Waterloo to its global network of age-friendly cities, which rewards municipalities for planning, maintenance and social services that accommodate older residents.

Waterloo is the eighth Canadian city to receive the honour, joining the ranks of London and Halifax. Waterloo is the 42nd member of the Global Network of Age-Friendly Cities.

“This is big stuff. We’re number 42 in the world,” said Arlene Groh, who chairs the mayor’s committee on advisory committee on age-friendly cities that submitted the application to join the network.
