Older Canadians helped build this country. Their hard work and tax dollars shaped the Canada we know today. In return, public investments in medical care, retirement, and income supports helped lift many seniors to the lowest poverty rates and highest levels of wealth and home ownership of any age group. Now, many are stepping into a new role: stewards of what they’ve helped create. As they watch younger generations struggle to afford a degree, secure decent work, find a home, and start families, many are growing deeply concerned about their kids’ futures, and the kind of world their grandkids will inherit.
