Ahoy, mateys! Gather 'round and lend me yer ears, for I’ve a tale to spin about the grand land of British Columbia, where the older folks be settin’ sail into the sunset like a fine bottle o’ rum left uncorked! Aye, these wizened sailors of life be growin’ in numbers, a whopping 45% in just a decade! That’s a lotta gray beards and weathered faces, I tell ye!
