It's open to anyone. We have been around since 1969. We are a national organization. I was national president at one time. Our national president at the present time is in Prince Edward Island. We exist across the country. We are affiliated with a broad range of other organizations, from the Older Women's Network in Ontario to the National Pensioners and Senior Citizens Federation, which in turn has affiliates across the country.
We have difficulty in saying how many members we have, because through our affiliations there are thousands. I'm not going to spring how many; I couldn't possibly tell you, because our affiliates will say they have 150 and I have to trust them. Quite frankly, I don't know, but given that Costco in British Columbia, with which we are affiliated, has 75,000, I would say there will be thousands. It will vary from one province to the next.
Unfortunately, many seniors organizations are hitting trouble in terms of numbers. The new seniors are not prepared to beat their heads against a stone wall like we've done for years over issues of pensions and poverty. They tend to want to volunteer on a short-term project and get out. So all seniors organizations are increasingly looking at moving closer together and affiliating and joining, maybe amalgamating, in order to bring their numbers to strength. We're all facing problems of numbers.
