Mayor Walsh: Here’s Why Boston Changed the Elderly Commission to the Age Strong Commission

By Mayor Martin Walsh | October 17, 2019

Boston has always been known as a strong city. A lot of our strength comes from our older residents, who represent a broad diversity of cultures and backgrounds, and who helped to make our city what it is today. That’s why we recently changed the name of the Elderly Commission to the Age Strong Commission. It better reflects the work we do, and the strong Bostonians we serve. We also launched the city’s first-ever Age Strong public awareness campaign.
