The Ageing Well Committee will advise on matters such as:

● Strategic workforce development, education, employment, and financial security for older adults and caregivers
● Healthy ageing
● Ageing at home
● Accessible transportation
● Long-term care
● Intergenerational and inclusive communities
Minister Furbert shared, “Bermuda’s foundation is a result of the passion, sacrifice, and love of our seniors. Their accomplishments, dedication, and experiences are truly an example of resilience, and they serve as role models for younger generations due to the immense wisdom they possess.”
“We believe that the Ageing Well Committee is key to helping us to drive change towards a more senior nurturing culture.”
Minister Furbert added, "I look forward to receiving the expressions of interest, and I want to thank our community in advance for their support, interest, and commitment to what we are seeking to achieve."
