The City of Canning is supporting the development of an Age Friendly Canning.

Aged friendly communities are those that are inclusive and accessible for people of all ages. They encompass spaces and places, programs and initiatives that make the community better for all residents, including children, young people, parents, and older people.

Canning is home to many seniors clubs and groups who provide fun activities to keep you healthy and active.
