We are extremely proud, and our experience was nothing but positive ! The town is humbled to have been on the international stage accepting an award for Ageing Well with eleven other countries, all working towards the same goal, which is how to meet the needs of an ageing population. […] The significance of the Award, for the Town of New Glasgow, is to celebrate all the accomplishments, and receiving recognition internationally speaks to the importance of looking through all the work done through an age-friendly lens. We hope to come back next year, with a higher visibility and why not take part in a round table as there are many things yet to be shared and said. “<\/strong><\/em><\/em><\/p>\nNancy DICKS – Mayor of the Town of New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, Canada<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
