The Partnership for Age Friendly Communities in Larimer County is again hosting a Candidate Forum. You are invited to attend this complimentary event at the Twinberry Auditorium in the Fort Collins Senior Center on Thursday October 10th from 2-4:30 pm. This Forum is made possible by the financial support of AARP Colorado.
Larimer-County-Candidates-Forum
The Forum’s purpose is for you to hear directly from the candidates running for Colorado State Senate and House of Representatives as well as Larimer County Commissioners. The candidates will answer questions on issues relevant to older adults in our community and their families, friends and others who care about them and for them.
Most recent census data shows that 23.8% of Larimer County residents are age 60 and over. By 2030 it is expected that Larimer County citizens over the age of 60 will increase by approx. 17% to a total of 101,000. Even more startling is the rate of growth of adults over the age of 75, which is projected to see a 64% increase to almost 40,000 people. These rapidly increasing demographics are issues that need to be addressed by candidates who will be representing Larimer county’s residents.
Take this opportunity to learn more about the candidates and where they stand on issues that impact the health and wellness of older adults in our community in a live event format. Registration details can be found at www.pafclarimer.org or by calling (970) 310-4900.
Partners presenting the Candidate Forum are the Partnership for Age-Friendly Communities in Larimer County, Columbine Health Systems Center for Healthy Aging at Colorado State University, and the Center for Public Deliberation at Colorado State University. This forum is made possible by the financial support of AARP Colorado.
