I think all of the evidence suggests that if you keep people active, particularly seniors, they spend less time in hospitals, doctors' offices and care homes.
The economics in favour of keeping people active are overwhelmingly in favour of spending public money that way. I don't know how it is in other places in Canada, but in Winnipeg, for example, the community clubs are funded by the city. However, historically, their role and their target audience is kids—hockey, soccer and all of those kinds of things.
Of course, families are smaller. We have a different range of children now with a lot of new Canadians, so they all have different demands. The other reality is that seniors are now a big cohort in society. In fact, I think I saw numbers that showed that seniors over 65 account for more people—I don't know if that's in Manitoba or in Canada—than kids under 15 do. I think the community centres have to start recognizing that and governments have to start recognizing that because the economics in favour of keeping people healthy and active are quite overwhelming.
