The Town of LaSalle is looking to engage its seniors and youths.
The town has held two focus groups with both age groups, looking at ways to get them more involved in the municipality and hear their ideas.
Councillor Mike Akpata says a prime is example is at council meetings.
He says councillors hardly see either age group in attendance.
"Sometimes you notice that seniors are not always participating as well as our young people in the municipality," says Akpata. "We've had two focus groups so far reaching out to both seniors and young people to make sure that they feel that they have a voice here at the council chamber."

Akpata says the feedback was similar from the seniors and youths.
"One of the similarities between both groups is they want to see some more cultural events," says Akpata. "They want to see some more walking events. They want to see some more outdoor events."
Akpata says more focus groups are planned.
He says the town is looking into the ideas the groups have provided.
