Our Purpose
We are a seniors anti-poverty group committed to fair pensions for seniors.
Check out our History here…
We refuse to be invisible.
Join our group and help to improve our Canadian Pensions to at least meet the current accepted line of poverty.
- At the moment, a lot of seniors are living below the poverty line.
- The poverty line in Canada is $25,252.00.
- 28% of senior women are living in poverty.
- This is not due to bad planning. Life is an unpredictable journey.
Seniors Tin Cup is organizing to ask the Canadian Government to increase our pensions to at least meet the poverty line to allow us to live with dignity.
We are not asking for trips, for fancy anything. We would like dignity and respect. We would like to be heard. We are tired of being the invisible generation.
Our plan is to protest on the streets in Canada – we began with small groups in Vernon, Vancouver and Ladysmith (on Vancouver Island), and have grown to many more different communities with interest from across the country.
If we can find more people to organize – we will be in more cities.

We will do this simultaneously.
We also hope to get some media attention. If enough people start to take notice of this – we will get more people taking part in this group.
Remember – Boomers made big changes in the world, by marching together. It is time to do it again.
