Media Advisory/Interview Opportunity - Canada's Aging Population - BMO
Provides Insight on Parliamentary Budget Officer Report

TORONTO, Feb. 18 /CNW/ - BMO Financial Group is available for commentary on today's report from the Parliamentary Budget Officer.

Tina Di Vito, Director, Retirement Strategies, BMO Financial Group, is able to provide insights on a wide variety of topics related to the report's findings on how aging will impact Canada's economy, including:

    
    -   How much Canadians will need for their retirement years
    -   Retirement savings strategies for all ages
    -   What should be top-of-mind when planning for retirement
    -   Special challenges being faced by various demographic groups such as
        small business owners and boomers
    

"Canadians need to take more ownership when it comes to planning for their retirement," said Di Vito. "Fewer employers are providing pension programs and people cannot count on public initiatives such as the Canada Pension Plan to meet all their financial needs in retirement. It's essential that Canadians start planning and saving for their retirement at the earliest possible age."
