The City of Kitchener is seeking volunteers ages 55 and older to lend their unique voices and views to the Mayor’s Advisory Council for Kitchener Seniors (MACKS) starting this September. MACKS gives an older adult perspective on the impact of programs, services, strategies, and policies for older adults in the community, enabling them to live well and age well.

- a Kitchener resident
- 55 years of age or older
- available to attend a monthly meeting (from September to June)
- able to contribute 6-8 hours per month to support sub-committee work
