The numbers are staggering! I was reading an article written by Arlene Adamson from Calgary in the Edmonton Journal this morning. Adamson states that Alberta's senior population is approximately 8 percent of the total. Taking into account that just over 940,000 are too young to cast a ballot that leaves 2,265,000 elgible voters for Mondays election.....1 in 5 are Seniors!
She also states that over the next 25 years the population of Alberta's seniors is set to double. Are you thinking about the future when you vote tomorrow? About ease of transportation as we age, about drug costs and access to health care systems, about the number of doctors being trained in gerontology...I am.
