Who cares for the caregivers?
Like the rest of Canada, the city of Ottawa is facing the "age wave"--a rapidly growing on-rush in the number of seniors. Indeed, Ottawa-Carleton has one of the fastest growing senior populations in the province of Ontario. About 70,000 of the residents, or 11 per cent of the population, are over 65, and this number is expected to increase to 15 per cent by the year 2011.
