A recent survey conducted by HOOPP and Abacus Data reveals that a significant majority of unretired Canadians do not expect to reach a financial position allowing for full retirement, with many anticipating the need to work even after retiring. This sentiment is largely attributed to rising living costs, housing affordability issues, and inflation. The article also points to a disconnect between employers' perceptions of retirement support and employees' actual expectations, suggesting that while employers believe they offer sufficient assistance, employees often disagree.

Homeownership emerges as a key factor in retirement preparedness, with homeowners generally more likely to have saved for retirement compared to non-homeowners, who face greater financial strain, particularly renters. Geopolitical events also contribute to financial decisions, prompting some Canadians to increase their savings due to global instability.

Excited to share the history behind the Milverton Art Walk. Join me today is Gordon, a former corporate marketer and musician, about the Milverton Art Walk. Gordon explains that the event, now in its fifth year, has grown from 3-4 houses to 20 artists across 3 blocks of Milverton. The art walk showcases a variety of creative talents, including painters, photographers, and sculptors, with the goal of fostering community and artistic expression rather than sales. Paul notes the historical significance of Milverton as the former city limits of Toronto and expresses appreciation for the event's contribution to the local cultural scene.
