I just wanted to bring to mind an issue that needs to be dealt with and it is especially imperative now as our baby boomers all head into retirement age.
Our senior citizens now make up more of the population than ever before, certainly in Canada and without a doubt more locally in Prince George as well.
As the younger generations of X and Y, it is our job and our honour to look after our aging parents and grandparents and to listen to them as they have the benefit of all those years of living and learning themselves.
Disrespect is never acceptable. This means we need to look after our elderly parents, neighbours and friends.
Things such as turning off outside lights that shine into other people's houses and getting motion sensors instead, not playing blaringly loud music and driving down residential streets with consideration are just a few very little things that make a huge difference in the quality of someone's life.
Something to keep in mind as one day we will all be there and we should treat others as we would like to be treated.
