The award is presented annually to individuals, groups or businesses that have made a significant contribution towards a barrier free community, which is both universally accessible and inclusive to all residents. PGCOS is responsible for creating universally designed healthy sustainable senior communities in Prince George. They have had input in every construction that Seniors may frequent; most areas are shared with a "younger then senior" population of disabled persons. Many municipal "accessibility bylaws" are created due to problems the Senior community face, we all hope to become seniors someday and we all frequent the same areas 98% of the time. The changes are a permanent feature and will be used by future citizens to make life completly accessible for all.
The Access Award of Merit is the highest honour granted by the City of Prince George in recognition of contributions to universal inclusiveness to improve the quality of life for all residents in this northern community. Supporting seniors supports ourselves.
