Over the next 20 years, Canada’s senior population is expected to grow by 65%

The problem

Senior citizens face significant adverse affects during winter:

  • Increased risk of falling
  • Increased joint pain
  • Limited mobility
  • Increase Isolation
The facts
  • Single and recurrent falls both peaked during winter months.[1]
  • Very cold weather represents greater health risk to those of us who are over 65. [2]
  • Senior citizens don’t feel safe driving in the snow.[3]
