yesterday's class involved looking first at the "greying of the Canadian population" and the impact that has on our society in terms of jobs, services, lifestyles, economics and a lot of other areas. Students should have some appreciation of how the fact that 1 out of 4 Canadians will be 65 years of age or older by 2030 will have a major impact on our society. After that part of class they were given a worksheet that gets them to work with population pyramids. One part of the activity has them construct a population pyramid. They will be completing this during next class.

Have a good weekend.
