Statistics Canada has crunched more numbers from the last census, and British Columbia is showing its age. Seven of the top ten retirement communities in the country are located on the west coast , and the place with the biggest population of seniors is Qualicum Beach. The small town on the sea boasts the greatest number of worldly Canadians per capitia with 47 per cent of the population over the age of 65. The average Canadian town has around fifteen per cent of its citizens able to collect on a seniors discount. The elderly population does pose challenges. Last year the regions secondary school almost shut down due to a lack of enrolment. School board officials said their were so few young families in the area because it was difficult to find work in the sleepy retirement community. Follow Scott Cunningham on Twitter:
