On January 1, 2008 mandatory retirement became illegal in British Columbia with the exception of federally-regulated industries and specific occupations where it can be shown that mandatory retirement is justifiable as a bona fide occupational requirement.
Although we have achieved the purpose we set out to when we established this website, we will leave it operating for the foreseeable future so that others can fight against mandatory retirement in their own provinces and countries.
We thank the people of British Columbia who strongly supported us during our campaign to end mandatory retirement. This is their victory.
