The golden girls of port perry

This past Wednesday's meeting was well attended and not surprising as the topic was "How to Live Like a Golden Girl" as presented by our own Port Perry Golden Girls, Bev Brown and Martha Casson.

They, along with their house mates, are trailblazers in the alternative housing world.  Through their hard work and networking they have succeeded in making real change to current municipal housing bylaws.  They have been instrumental in the creation of a Private Members Bill "The Golden Girls Act 2019, being put forward by MPP Lindsey Park to amend the Municipal Act. It has only to clear final reading to become law, which given its tremendous house support would appear to be merely a technicality.

With the enactment of this bill, un-related adults (in particular those 55 and over) will now not be blocked from purchasing a single family dwelling for joint ownership and residence.

This is just one of many non-traditional living arrangements being explored as housing needs become ever more complex and the Baby Boom ages.
