BC woman stages rally to highlight plight of seniors living in poverty

A B.C. senior took to the streets of downtown Vernon on Thursday to highlight poverty among older adults in Canada.

Carole Fawcett says government support for seniors is not enough to get by amid the rapidly-escalating cost of living.

"A lot of seniors are having great difficulty surviving on their Canadian pensions in this economy," Fawcett said.

Now she's trying to raise awareness about the growing number of pensioners living below the poverty line. Global's Aaron McArthur reports.
