ABSTRACT Working from an asset-based perspective, this exploratory, qualitative study examined local community strengths and capacities to support healthy aging in a rural community in Western Canada. The research team consisted of academic leads and a project coordinator from a Canadian university, collaborating partners from the health authority, representatives from local and regional municipal leadership, and an Advisory Committee comprising local municipal leaders, seniors’ advocates, business owners, health care professionals and other community stakeholders. The findings from this study underscore five equally critical and overlapping areas of recommendations: Networking and Cross-Community Collaborations; Communications; Health and Social Care Initiatives; Transportation; and Housing.
