Be bike smart' program launched throughout Canada Canada has eight million cyclists and more than three -million are children. The largest numbers of deaths and injuries through cycling accidents occur in children five to 14 years of age. In response to the success of The Easter Seal Society's, On- tario program, 'Be bike smart' is being launched on a national level by the Cana- dian Rehabilitation Council for the Disabled (CRCD) and sponsored by The Hospital for Sick Children Foundation to reduce the number of disabling and fatal bicycling accidents. A study conducted by the Canadian Acci- dent Injury Reporting and Evaluation (CAIRE) project, January '82 - December '85, encompassed five major hospitals across Canada and reported 8,669 accidents involving bicycles — 3,229 of those accidents were head injuries. Because of reporting procedures, there is a suspected under estimate of accidents with minimal injuries to young cyclists. So it Jillian Life, RRSP Annuities Investment Funds Group Benefits GARY W.

The advantages of cycling as a physical activity greatly outweigh the risks. The number of accidents can bereduced through education. Children can learn the proper use and care of their bicycles and the impor- tance of wearing protective gear. The 'Be bike smart' pamphlet, available in French and English, is designed to help tamilies teach their children to understand the importance of bicycle safety and in- cludes information on reducing the number of injuries through education. Learning bicycling maturity is a family reponsibility and should be taken seriously.

'Impact of change has ramifications Canadian society, is changing and the im- pact of the change will have major ramifica- tions at all social, political and economic levels. Canadians are living longer and the birth rate continues to decline creating a population with a growing percentage of older people. In 1981, the elderly (persons aged 65 years or older) made up 10 per- cent of the country's population. In just 40 years, projections indicate that this group will double to almost 20 percent and that the average age of the Canadian society will also continue to climb. In political terms, this means a major shift in thinking, especially in the areas of social policy and programs. The elderly cur- rently represent almost 14 percent of eligi- ble voters and are among the most active in exercising that franchise. They are also beginning to exert an influential lobbying force. In 1986, senior citizens' groups were successful in forcing the federal govern- ment to reverse its policy of de4ndexing the Canada pension. As the number of senior citizens continues to grow, they will exert an even more significant influence on political parties, at all government levels. Issues like mandatory retirement, and assistance for those on fixed incomes, will become govern- ment priorities, as will health care and dy- ing with dignity. The impact of an aging society, however, is not limited to political considerations. Currently, the elderly represent an income market in excess of $20 -billion, more than 10 percent of all incomes in Canada. As this figure climbs, manufacturers and major retailers can be expected to orient more and more of their marketing direction towards capturing a share of this market. Nowhere will there be a more dramatic change than in the area of health care services for the elderly. The need for more health care will in- crease at an even more rapid rate than the elderly themselves. Already underserviced, it is expected that health care services specifically oriented to the elderly will in- crease by 50 percent in less than 15 years. They will use over 50 percent of general hospital beds, 75 percent of long term hospital beds, 35 percent of psychiatric beds and 40 percent of the country's total health are budget. Meeting the need will take a concerted effort at all levels of government and a major change in the way society thinks of the elderly. Too long ignored, the elderly are a growing segment of Canada's population, with special needs and unique perspectives. For a long time the emphasis in Canada has been on the young. Politically, socially and economically our society has been dominated by a concept of youth. But, within 40 years, that focus, indeed the very nature of our population, will radically change. For the first time in our history the majority of Canadians will be over 35 years old and our society will not only reflect that change but will be forced to deal with the unique challenges it creates. specialists in PINE & HARDWOOD floor finishing installation & repairs Free Estimates Call Wilt BLCJEWATER FLOORING 482-5397 Direct Parts 524-7389 BLUEWATER TRUCK CENTRE LTD.
