Census Information: Vancouver

Statistics Canada Dept: OTTAWA Senior citizens now represent 13.5 per cent of the population of the metropolitan area of Vancouver, a ratio lower than the national average, the latest census numbers from Statistics Canada show. Newly released census information on age and sex makes it clear that Canadian society is getting older. The data released Tuesday comes from census forms filled out May 10, 2011 - a moment in time when the first of the baby boom generation was turning 65. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
