In 2011, the first of the Baby Boomers turned 65. And they will live longer and be more active than any generation before.
Chilliwack’s senior population is growing, exceeding provincial averages; currently 17.5% are over 65. Demand for senior services is growing too. Much has changed over the last few years especially around the way in which information is shared and accessed.
