"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

some folk took advantage of the outing.

thday recently and is a remarkable lady.

Janet Finlay and Bill Marsh, we extend our
sincere sympathy. These residents of
