Canadians often dream of their retirement years as a period of re-invention for some, relaxation for others, but nearly always they envision themselves fulfilled, happier and less stressed. However, the reality for many seniors can be marked by loneliness and a sense of disconnection, particularly within traditional retirement communities that offer limited social opportunities and enforce rigid routines.
