In the 60’s, baby boomers changed the world. In their 60s, they just may do it again. The largest and wealthiest generation ever born in Canada is now leading a massive shift in what it means to get old.

Boomers – who make up almost a third of Canada’s total population – are now in their 50s and early 60s, but are enjoying a longevity bonus because life expectancy has gone up more than thirty years in the last century.

A Dreamfilm Production, The Boomer Revolution aired February 2013 on CBC Television’s Doc Zone.
