Statistics Canada’s Eh Sayers podcast has released a new episode titled “The Grey Anatomy of Canada: The Story Behind Canada’s Aging Population”, offering a timely look at how Canada’s shifting demographics are reshaping everyday life.

Hosted by Max Zimmerman, this 20-minute episode features Patrick Charbonneau, Section Chief in the Centre for Demography at Statistics Canada, and explores:
• How population shifts are changing demand for housing, schools and health care
• The rise of the sandwich generation and growing caregiving pressures
• The many ways older Canadians continue to support communities through volunteering, child care and family support
