Seniors are rallying in several communities across B.C. to bring attention to what they call 'shrinking' pensions that are not keeping pace with inflation and the rising cost of living. CBC reporter Michelle Gomez reports from the rally in White Rock, and we heard from Ramona Kaptyn, BC's chief advocacy and communications officer for the Canadian Association of Retired Persons (CARP). And, on U.N.'s World Down Syndrome Day, Canadian actress Madison Tevlin talks about starring in the international campaign challenging stereotypes that create barriers. We were also joined by Tamara Taggart, president of Down Syndrome B.C. to talk about the significance of this day and the work needed to recognize the abilities of people with Down Syndrome.
