FREE EVENT: Thursday, June 11Log in to the North Vancouver Library with your library card to reserve your spot. You may also book by phone or at your nearest library.
Join Dr. Paul Kershaw, UBC Policy Professor and Founder of Generation Squeeze, at the Lynn Valley Library (11am-12:30pm) for a discussion on how Canada can eliminate seniors' poverty by making Old Age Security responsible, modern, and fair.
Ottawa sends $18,000 in OAS subsidies to retired couples with $185,000 in household income while 400,000 seniors live in poverty and younger people struggle to afford the basics.
This presentation explores a straightforward fix that most Canadians support: Ask retired couples with incomes over $100,000 to take about $3,000 less from OAS. This one change protects benefits for 80% of OAS recipients, yet delivers the savings needed to lift all seniors out of poverty and help their kids and grandchildren.
