By Helen Owen "The Association's target is 1,000 paid up members by Christmas. With will and deter- mination this target can be reached." This message from the President of the British Pensioners Association (BPA) of Canada is indicative of the active steps be- ing taken to achieve parity of pensions for British expatriates domiciled in Canada. The present inequality makes it increasing- ly difficult for them to cope with fixed pen- sions further reduced by the falling ex- change rate as well as rising costs. The newly formed Association moved quickly when Margaret Thatcher visited Canada in September when it was learned that the indexing of British Pensions was on the agenda for the meeting with Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, and it was en- couraging to learn from his reply that the opportunity had been taken to raise the sub- ject. A petition was also prepared for Prime Minister Trudeau accompanied by factual evidence which clearly indicated the inade- quacies and injustice of present policies. In their November newsletter the Associa- tion reported that when the question was raised in the House of Lords in the U.K. it received strong support from people whose opinions carry weight in political circles. According to the letter, the Minister of Health and Social Security Norman Fowler has been addressed by the Vancouver, B.C. President of BPA and was informed that the old age pensions of British subjects in Canada was to be alleviated. The questions remain as to the rate, and the date of the in- crease. Support has also been demonstrated in other areas. In the U.K. the National Federation of Old Age Pensioners Associa- tions took the opportunity to address Prime Minister Thatcher on this issue prior to her Canadian visit. In Canada itself the Federal government has provided practical support in the form of a grant through the New Horizon Program, and it was this that enabl- ed the BPA to get off the ground. Meanwhile every member is being asked to recruit further support particularly in the field of public relations. Being of pen- sionable age, for many the subject is one of serious personal concern, but those who have not yet reached that point stand to benefit in due course and therefore the in- jection of young blood at this point would do much to increase awareness of the anomalies which exist. Another highly rele- vant back up that has been suggested is via relatives and friends in the U.K. who are aware of the iniquitous situation and could further assist by addressing themselves to local Members of Parliament. Adding to the embarrassment of a shrink- ing fixed income is the plight of immigrants Brussels resident and legion member dies at 68 Stewart Wilburt Lowe BRUSSELS - A Brussels resident and Royal Canadian Legion member, Stewart Wilburt Lowe died in Wingham and District Hospital on Nov. 20.
