Public Indoor Facility Audit
The City of Yorkton’s Public Indoor Facility Audit project encourages facilities to be more inclusive and accessible for seniors living in Yorkton, including those living with dementia.
Earlier in 2021, the City of Yorkton hired an independent contractor and community members with lived experiences to help assess public indoor environments. The Contractor developed and used an amalgamated checklist for each public facility to create an Age/Dementia Friendly Facilities Audit Report.
