Seniors Issues Project Overview The senior community in Swift Current represents a relatively large part of the local demographics. Swift Current businesses may be able to realize valuable beneftis by using a valid, thorough process to respond to key needs and wants of these important consumers and citizens. These could potentially include increased sales, reliable senior employees, business opportunities and other benefits. The short-term goal for this committee was to conduct a SWOT analysis of the senior's community with a long-term goal to address and implement the findings of the analysis. The expected outcome is to make Swift Current an attractive place for seniors to live by meeting their needs (sports, culture, recreation for young active seniors, adequate health care facilities and services, independent seniors housing and extended health care facilities). Progress To Date Over 6,000 retirement surveys were sent out in the city. The survey
covered the following topics: transportation, accommodation, health,
cost of living, shopping, and recreational activity. The results
were analyzed, Senior Survey Final Report was developed.
