Statistics have long shown one of the largest demographics enjoying the Vancouver Courier newspaper is made up of seniors and baby boomers.
We also have the anecdotal evidence to back up that stat through the feedback we regularly receive from older adults who give us input on everything from font size – following a recent redesign – to letters to the editor, to issues regarding city hall. That personal interaction with our older readers was one of the inspirations behind Lifetime, first as a special section created to coincide with a free day-long event dedicated to our city’s seniors held last October, and now as a stand-alone publication.
The goal of Lifetime is to not only inform, but also entertain. To that end Lifetime will publish four times annually, in winter to help you get organized for a new year, in spring with tips on everything from gardening to home renovation, in summer to help you plan your summer and in fall with a look towards autumn and the holidays.
The team at Lifetime is also excited to introduce a new Volunteer of the Year award, which will be announced in the October edition. Make sure to check out the story inside for the rules of eligibility.
Besides special features and stories in each edition, regular sections will include finance, health, travel, food and an opportunity to ask an expert. Feedback and questions for our experts can be emailed to [email protected] with the subject head “Lifetime.”
