Socialization can be especially difficult because they prefer being around people of other generations. Normally transportation is easy, but older people are having their driving licenses taken away by the city. Using alternate transportation systems, such as buses, may also prove difficult. They aren’t always aware where the stations are or where they lead, especially if they’ve driven themselves all their life. When seniors are restricted to their homes, they can only socialize with those around them, and even so, most of the residents stay in their room and exclude themselves from others. They also may not have the money for bus systems, seeing as they often cost money. Because relatives may live far away, they may not be able to
Social changes were being made in Canada after the second World War suggesting that a free country was taking notice of civil rights and equality which led to improvement of living standards. During and after the war, Canada’s government took notice of women and made them feel as important as men by supplying jobs. Prior to the war, females did not work as much as men. When the war started females were being treated with respect and also had a big part in the rise of Canada’s economy. Women who were housewives even got an opportunity to work and earn money. Also females standards were increased as well and women played a big part in the war industry. A lot of females just volunteered for the war production during World War 2. Hard working women

Located in Southern Ontario on the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario, Toronto is situated on a broad sloping plateau intersected by an extensive network of rivers, deep ravines, and urban forest.[31] It anchors the Golden Horseshoe, a densely populated region surrounding the western end of Lake Ontario that is home to 8.7 million people,[32] or around 26% of the entire population of Canada.[33] The demographics of Toronto make it one of the world's most diverse cities,[20][21] with about 50% of residents having been born in a country other than Canada,[34] and over 200 distinct ethnic origins represented among its inhabitants.[35] The vastly international population of the city reflects its current and historical role as an important destination for immigrants to Canada.[34][36]While English is the primary language spoken by the majority of Torontonians, there are over 160 different languages spoken in the
Societal Change contributes to an ever changing society in Canada. Two distinct adaptations that contribute to this developing society include Immigration and Equality. Immigration was almost non-existent in 1939, with Canada being a largely white settler dominion. As the years progressed, Immigration began to increase until Canada moved to become a multicultural, multiracial society at its current stage in 2017. By 2039, I would expect Canada to be even more multicultural, taking into account the Syrian Refugee crisis, many more refugees will be coming to Canada, thus influencing this idea of more racially diverse community. Equality between sexes was also something that contributed to this changing society in Canada. Women moved from being
Missisauga and the Greater Toronto Area is littered with pollution, has poor air quality, is over-populated and contributes negatively to climate change more than any other region in Canada. While there are many factors that add to a regions contribution to climate change, I firmly believe that over-population is the root of factors. Over-population and the urbanization of smaller regions will produce double the greenhouse gases, pollution and contaminants of any other regions. While the GTA and Ontario is doing what it can to provide incentives for residents and help reverse the effects of climate change through mandated proposals, anything that is done will only slow the effects, never will they reverse or stop what is to come. Focus on ways to spread out the populations and conseve non-renewable resources is the only way to begin preventing further destruction to the

As people age they develop many special needs related to the later period of life.
